Firmware Upgrade Of Engine And Accessories From Usb Stick - Canon imagePRESS C800 Series Technical & Service Manual

Firmware upgrade of Engine and Accessories from USB
stick
Introduction
This topic describes the firmware upgrade of the host machine and accessories by a FST with a
USB stick which contains the firmware files.
By default the PRISMAsync automatically updates the host machine and accessories with
compatible firmware stored on the PRISMAsync controller.
After changing the upgrade policy to "manual upgrade enabled", it is possible to update the host
machine and accessories firmware from a USB stick.
During a manual firmware update it is possible for a FST to look at the detailed feedback of the
upgrade. This may be necessary for troubleshooting purposes. It is also possible to change the
Upgrade auto setting and force an overwrite of all firmware even if the same version is already
installed.
NOTE
Changing the upgrade policy to "manual upgrade enabled" may result in incompatibilities
between the host machine, accessories firmware and the PRISMAsync software.
NOTE
After changing the upgrade policy to "manual upgrade enabled" it is no longer possible to
upgrade the PRISMAsync software.
Before you begin
• USB Key created via SST tool as described in service manual of the host machine.
• Create the USB key with the required firmware packages for the applicable PRISMAsync
version.
NOTE
The folder name on the USB key must be equal to the target-name reported by the host machine
