SUMMIT 8800 FIRMWARE 11
11. Firmware
11 .1 Introduction
The firmware wizard is required when updates for one of the boards, the back panel or the sum-
mit computer board is required.
The Summit 8800 firmware consists of eight main programs as listed below, each of these pro-
grams are individual items that is created, stored, compiled and transmitted to the flow com-
puter separately.
The “Boot “ program as listed is only used when the Main program is being loaded into the de-
vice and as such are non-operational when the Boot Run Mode switch is set to the Run mode.
For ease of control and maintenance the source code software of each of the 8 program types
consists of many hundreds of individual software modules and functions. Each of which contains
a CRC 32 checksum to ensure integrity.
The software that is downloaded into the Summit 8800 is identified with the file extension .s19
and is created using a specialist compiler for each Microprocessor type used.
The Compiler will compile all the files that make up each individual program in a single .s19 file
for each type as listed. At compile time the Version Number and unique checksum of the version
are embedded in the .s19 file.
The individual programs and different Versions are then subject to standard Quality Control
techniques, such that only controlled copies can be used in manufacturing etc.
When the programs have been loaded into the Summit 8800 all Version numbers and unique
checksums are shown on the System Information page of the Summit 8800. As part of the ap-
proval apparatus, particular Versions have been subjected to the approval procedures and the
identification of these Versions has been recorded and can therefore be checked against the
identification of software in the Summit 8800.
