20 Maestro — Branding Engine Quick Start Guide
Section 1 — Software Installation
Checking the Boot ROM Versions
Before proceeding with the installation of the Maestro Branding Engine
hardware, you must verify the boot ROM version that is installed on the
Maestro processor board. The boot ROM must be updated to the current
version or the processor board will not boot properly with the Branding
Engine hardware installed. See
Section 2-Hardware Installation for Branding
Engine hardware installation instructions.
Note Most Maestro processor boards will have the current boot ROM installed.
Only early board shipments will have the older boot ROM installed.
Maestro software version 1.4 and higher require the Processor and hard-
ware control panel boot ROMs to be current. Older versions of the boot
ROMs will operate under v1.4 and higher but this would require the
deployment PC and system software to be active at all times.
Note The procedure documented in this section can only be done after upgrading
to v1.5 or higher of the Maestro Software Package and updating the software
application as described in
Updating the System Configuration and Software
on page 29 . Previous software versions do not support checking the Boot
ROM version in the manner described below. If you have not upgraded to the
v1.5 or higher software, you must use the Telnet procedure documented in
the v1.4 Release Notes.
1. In the Maestro Deployment Control Center window, select the
Processor for which you wish to check the Boot ROM version. The row
for the selected Processor will have a dark background.
2. Right-click on the FPGA version number in the “Running>>” row of
the selected Processor. A window similar to the one seen in
Figure 1
appears.
