Firmware updates are available on the Documentation/Files section of the LD5100 webpage at
. Download the appropriate firmware to an accessible place to upload via
RS232 (9600 baud, 8, N, 1) port through a PC or terminal (see Chapter 7, “EIA-232 Interface”
A.1.
Updating the Flash Firmware
To start the update process, wait for the ten second delay window during power up and press
“ESC” to stop the Flash Main Program from executing. Or if the Flash Main Program is
already running, type “EX” to exit.
The Flash Main Program must be erased before an upload can be preformed. To erase the
code, type the “ERASE PRGM” command. After a second or so, the screen will display
“OK.”
Next, type the “LOAD PRGM XMODEM” command. This will upload the new firmware
file using X-Modem-1k protocol. Go to the top of the screen and left click on transfer, then
click on send file. Select 1K X Modem from the protocol selection and then browse to where
the firmware files are saved. The file must be binary with a.bin extension. Once the proper file
is selected, click open. Then click “send.” This might have to be repeated if this is the first
time uploading firmware.
After the file has been uploaded, enter the “RUN” command, or power down the LD5100 and
then turn it back on.
Note Go to the Products/LD5100 section on the LD5100 webpage of our website at
for the latest LD5100 firmware file.
