Merlin II Protocol Analyzer User’s Manual CATC SW Version 2.50
3. Updates
BusEngine and Firmware updates often need to be performed when you
update the Merlin II software. These updates can be performed
automatically or manually. Both processes are described.
3.1 Update Files
Update files are installed with the Merlin II software during the installation
procedure and reside in the local directory of the analyzer application.
During the update process, the files are taken from this location.
The following update files are provided with each release:
BusEngine - For updating the hardware logic (has an *.bin extension).
Firmware- For updating the platform firmware (has an *.hex extension).
3.2 Automatic Updates
When you update the analyzer software, the software may become
incompatible with the BusEngine and Firmware. After the analyzer is
powered on, the analyzer will display an error message telling you that it
needs to update the Firmware and/or BusEngine. When you click OK, the
update process takes place automatically.
To update the BusEngine and/or Firmware, follow these steps:
Step 1 If needed, update the analyzer software, following the steps outlined
in "Software Updates."
Step 2
Turn on the analyzer.
Because the BusEngine and/or the Firmware are incompatible with
the current analyzer software version, an error message appears
showing your current versions and indicating what versions you
need to install.
