B.1 Firmware components
From time to time,
firmware, which enable new functionality or address issues in the
version which shipped with your device. This section contains in-
structions on how to apply firmware updates to your device.
The device firmware consists of several components. The two com-
ponents most frequently requiring upgrade are the microcontroller
firmware, and the FPGA
is using the tool mogrffw, which is distributed as part of mogrf.
However, mogrffw cannot be used to upgrade microcontrollers be-
fore on ethernet or
v0.1.45
interface (B.4) must be used.
There are four distinct firmware images on each
1. UC : primary microcontroller
2. IAP : microcontroller boot-loader
3. DISP : the interactive front-panel display board
4. FPGA : bitstream implementing the FPGA functionality
There are two copies of each firmware component in internal
memory; the default (current) version, and a factory copy. The fac-
tory copy is provided as a fallback in case something goes wrong
during a field-upgrade and should only be upgraded in consultation
with abs. Corrupting the factory image may require the unit
MOGL
to be returned to MOGL
MOGL abs will release updates to the
image. The best way to upgrade the firmware
