3. Use the software_update /<filename> command to update the software. When the
application launches, users should see the following information on the console as the
updater application run through the routine to update the system software.
ATS-6501>software_update /tflex-3-4-2.iso
common_updater.sh: Creating filesystem on /dev/mmcsd0s2a ..... ..... ..... ..... .... done.
common_updater.sh: Creating filesystem on /dev/mmcsd0s2e ..... ..... . done.
common_updater.sh: Storing files tar: Removing leading '/' from member names
. done.
common_updater.sh: Unpacking files ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ... done.
common_updater.sh: Unpacking files . done.
4. Once the update is complete the system will automatically reboot. Local users will
see the front panel display lock up for ~2 minutes. After this the system will begin
launching the application and local users will see the typical boot process where the
bars repeatedly start off at the top, move to the middle, then bottom, then go out. The
application start up will take ~2 minutes. Once the oscillator lock light is on it should
take about 1 minute to begin tracking GPS and the front panel clock to come back. It
will take an additional 1.5 to 2 minutes for NTP to lock and for the outputs to be
enabled.

Note:

or power cycled users will need to upload the .iso file again in order to update the system
software.
3.3.3 GPS Firmware Updates
Updating the firmware on the GPS receiver requires that the GPS receiver be removed
from the system, updated, and reinstalled. The GPS Firmware version can be checked using the
status gps:model command.
ATS-6501>status gps:model

[sw_version] 3.400
3.3.4 Declassifying the System
Some users may require that the ATS-6501 be declassified before shipping the system to
a new location. Doing this involves removing all non-volatile memory from the unit. Power the
system down and press lightly on the SD Card in the slot on the front panel. This will release the
SD Card. Simply remove the flash disk from the front panel. The flash disk must be destroyed
per the user's standard security procedures.
