Appendix D. Upgrading the Operating
System
The storage module operating system is stored in flash memory. (It is NOT
deleted when the storage module is reset.) It is possible to upgrade the operating
system using Campbell Scientifics CSOS download utility. Please contact
Campbell Scientific for a copy of this utility compatible with the SM4M and
SM16M if you need to change the module operating system.
Collect any data stored in the module before upgrading the
operating system, as any data held in memory is irreversibly
erased during the upgrade process.
To load the operating system you will need to connect the module to a PC running
Windows, via an SC532 interface. Please follow the instructions supplied with
CSOS.
Do not attempt to load any operating system other than that designed for these
storage modules. Do not disconnect the power supply to the module during the
upgrade process, otherwise the module memory may be corrupted requiring a
factory repair.
After CSOS indicates the download is complete, wait until the green
LED on the SM goes out before using the SM. The green LED is on
while the SM completes the OS upgrade.
