2.4.2 Updating the BusEngine and Firmware
The BusEngine core is the heart of the FireInspector analyzer. Using state-of-the-art PLD
technology, it incorporates both the high speed recording engine and the configureable
building blocks that implement data/state/error detections, triggering, capture filtering,
external signal monitoring, and event counting and sequencing. Both the BusEngine
program and the firmware that manage the internal microcontroller are fully
field-upgradeable.
The most current BusEngine file (fireinsp.rbf) and firmware file (firefw.ihx) are included in
the FireInspector installation software.
To update the BusEngine and/or firmware:
Step 1
Select Setup > Analyzer... from the menu bar.
The Analyzer Setup dialog will open.
Step 2
To update the BusEngine:
Click Update BusEngine.
The Select the engine file to download dialog will open.
To update the firmware:
Click Update Firmware.
The Select the firmware file to download dialog will open.
Step 3 Select the appropriate file and click Open.
The new code will be downloaded to the FireInspector analyzer box.
Note: If the BusEngine is updated, it's necessary to turn the analyzer off and then
power back on so that the update will take effect.
Note: If the firmware is updated, it's necessary to unplug the USB cable from the
back of the analyzer, and then plug it back in so that the update will take
effect.
2.5 Updating the Driver
It’s necessary to manually update the driver if you have upgraded to a newer version of
FireInspector. However, if FireInspector was not previously installed on the host computer,
the analyzer box should be detected as being new hardware, and the New Hardware Wizard
will guide you through the driver installation process.
To find out the current driver version number, please consult FireInspector’s Readme.txt
file.
