Firmware Updates
Whenever the on-board software must be upgraded or modified, the new firmware can
be downloaded to the internal flash memory via the serial port COM0.
If the Menu button in the front panel is pushed down while the system is powered up,
a bootstrap-loader will be activated that waits for instructions from the serial port COM0.
The new firmware can be sent to the FDM511 from any standard PC with serial
interface. A loader program will be shipped together with the file containing the image of
the new firmware.
The contents of the program memory will not be modified until the loader program has
sent the command to erase the flash memory. So if the Menu button is pushed down
unintentionally while the system is powered up, the firmware will not be changed
accidentially. After the next power-up, the system will be ready to operate again.
