System 3
When you install TDT Drivers, microcode with a matching version number is stored
in .dxe files on the PC. The zBUSmon utility uses these files to update or
reprogram processor devices in the system. The current microcode version number for
each device is displayed in the utility's system diagram. For processor devices, the
version number shown should be the same as the version number of the TDT
Drivers installed on the PC (Note: this does not apply to the PA5, which is fixed
at v30).
If any device (or any RZ DSP) is programmed with microcode that doesn't match
the currently installed release, the microcode version number will appear in red
and the 'Update All Devices' button will also appear below the 'Transfer Test'
button. Devices with outdated Microcode versions should be updated
immediately.
The zBUSmon Utility can be used to update the microcode on one or more
devices. There are three options for updating:
•
•
•
Updating All Devices in a System
Note: For instructions on updating an RL2 contact TDT Support.
To quickly update all devices in the system:
1.
2. Click Yes to continue.
The Update All Devices button automates the process of updating all
devices in a system.
The Update {device name} command automates the process of updating a
specified device.
The Program {device name} command allows the user to select the micro-
code file when specifying a device to program.
In the zBUSmon utility window, click the Update All Devices button.
A time warning will be displayed. Most processors can be programmed in
four minutes; however, the RZ processors may take up to 40 minutes (five
minutes per DSP). If your system contains several devices this process
could take significant time.
The System3 Device Programmer window is opened and programming
automatically begins. Devices are programmed sequentially. A bar at the
bottom of the window indicates progress for each device as it is updated.
Note: The PC should not be used for other tasks while devices are being
reprogrammed.
