Updating System Firmware with ODE

The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) consists of diagnostic modules for test-
ing and verifying system operation. The update utility of ODE provides the capabili-
ty of updating the PDC/IODC firmware from the LIF directory onto the EEPROM.
ODE is an ISL utility. To invoke ODE and bring up the update utility:
1.
Invoke the ISL environment from the system disk.
2.
Type ode after the ISL> prompt to invoke ode from the LIF directory on the
system disk. The prompt changes to ODE>.
3.
At the ODE> prompt, type update to bring up the update utility.
changes to UPDATE>.
The following commands may be entered at the UPDATE> prompt:
D
help – prints a one line description of each of the available commands in the
update utility.
D
info – prints information on how to use the update utility.
D
run – updates the PDC of the workstation from the LIF directory.
D
image – allows you to specify which LIF images to use.
D
expert – enables/disables exit pausing and run confirmation for expert users.
D
exit – resets the workstation so the new PDC can run.
To run the update utility, type run at the UPDATE> prompt. After update loads the
new images into memory, it asks if you want to continue the update process. It dis-
plays the PDC version of the currently running PDC as well as that of the images that
were loaded. If you want to continue, type y.
When the update process has completed, the machine reboots automatically.
If you are using a graphics monitor for the updating procedure, characters may not be
printed to the screen correctly because the character set for graphics printing is stored
in the machine ROM that is overwritten. Hewlett Packard recommends that you use a
terminal connected to the first serial port, serial 1, for updating your workstation.
