Upload via EIA-232 Port
1. Connect a terminal emulator to the Falcon as
detailed in section 1.2 of this manual.
2. Firmware updates can be started two ways:
a. After power-up, a ten second window
provides the user an opportunity to press a
key to abort the Flash Main Program from
executing, OR
b. From the Main Menu, the user can enter EX
to begin the firmware update process.
3. The Main program must be erased before
an upload can be performed. To erase the
code, the user must enter the
ERASE PRGM
command, after a second or so, the screen will
update with an “OK”.
4. The user then enters a LOAD XMODEM
command. The firmware file is chosen from
the PC directory and uploaded using the
Xmodem-1k protocol. The file must be binary
and have a .bin extension.
5. After the file has been uploaded, the user may
then enter the RUN command or power down
the Falcon and then turn it back on.
