4.4 BusEngine and Firmware Updates
BusEngine and Firmware updates often need to be performed when you
update the IBTracer software. These updates can be performed
automatically or manually. Both processes are described.
Updating the BusEngine
The BusEngine core is the heart of the IBTracer Analyzer. Using FPGA
technology, the BusEngine incorporates both the high speed recording
engine and the configurable 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 manages the internal microcontroller are fully field
updateable.
Within a new software release, it may be necessary to update the Analyzer’s
BusEngine hardware for proper operation. The Readme file lets you know
if this is necessary.
Updating the Firmware
Within a new software release, it may also be necessary to update the
Analyzer’s firmware for proper operation. The Readme file informs you if
this is necessary.
