Firmware Update - Vidicode V-Tap Manual

5.9 Firmware update

When a firmware update must be applied, there are two possible states:
I.
The system is running normal.
When the system is accessible through FTP, the firmware can be
updated with the PC tool 'vcUpdater'. This tool can be found on
the Vidicode website in the menu Service and Support > Firmware.
Another way to update is by using an SD card as follows:
- The manufacturer must provide the necessary files first.
- Prepare an SD card with all unzipped files in the root directory.
- The V-Tap unit must run normal.
- Hold the button pressed while inserting the SD card.
- All LED's start flashing.
- Release the button, then update starts immediately.
- Normal operation resumes after maximal 30 seconds.
At least the files UPDATE.SD and HTAP.ROM and/or HTAP.CPY must
be present on the card. The files SAVECONF, DELCONF and
CLEARROM perform an action during update and are optional.
II.
The system is not running at all.
The following method is always valid to update or re-install the
firmware (if the SD interface is still working):
- The manufacturer must provide the necessary files first.
- Prepare an SD card with all unzipped files in the root directory.
- Power Off the V-Tap unit.
- Insert the SD card.
- Hold the button pressed while applying power (insert USB cable).
