Sundance SMT310Q - Manual (Page 51)

used by the Sundance wizard and other Sundance software to know the features of
the carrier board.
At this point you should reboot the PC and run the SMTBoardInfo utility tool
(SMT6300). Place a Sundance DSP module on the first TIM site of the carrier board
and run the confidence test, which is part of SMTBoardInfo program. If this test
passes, the CPLDs update has been successful.
15.1.2 EPROM updating
Usually the EPROM file doesn’t get changed because it contains PCI interface data
but without this the SMT310Q won’t be detected. If the EPROM becomes corrupt
there is a simple way to update it. The best way to change the EPROM file is to use
the EPROM programming utility, which is part of SMT6300. When the program starts
it will show the user what type of board is being used, what I/O address it’s at, and
what version the stored EPROM file is. The next thing is to choose the update tab
and select the .prm file to be used.
Since the EPROM holds the PCI interface data, you will not be able to detect the
SMT310Q if the correct EPROM is not loaded. Therefore after updating the EPROM
be sure to run SMTBoardInfo. In the board info it should show the user what address
the SMT310Q is at. If it doesn’t detect the SMT310Q then it means the EPROM file
hasn’t been loaded.
