5.4 Firmware Updates

Note:

The RX3i CEP Carrier does not prevent initiation of firmware update when it is actively

connected to an IO-Controller. When the RX3i CEP Carrier enters firmware update mode,

the RX3i CEP and its modules go to their IO default modes. During the update, the RX3i

CEP does not drive module outputs or send inputs to the IO-Controller. When the

firmware update is completed and the RX3i CEP Carrier is rebooted, its previous

connections are re-established and control resumes.

For LED behavior, refer to Section 2.2.3,

The RX3i CEP Carrier enters firmware update mode when commanded to do so from the WinLoader update

utility, or if a firmware component is corrupted or invalid. In firmware update mode, the RX3i CEP Carrier blinks

its LEDs in a special pattern as described previously, and its Ethernet ports are not operational.

If the RX3i CEP Carrier has experienced a fatal error, the Carrier goes to an LED blink code error condition and

does not communicate with Winloader, causing Winloader to return a timeout failure indication. The Carrier

must be power-cycled before reattempting the update.

The RX3i CEP Expansion Carrier does not contain firmware.
