Updating Firmware
Updating Firmware
Hewlett-Packard formally supports only configurations that include
the latest revisions of all software and firmware. Software updates can
be ordered to get the latest firmware revisions.
You can update the firmware in the HP processor probe by running
the prgflash.xxx utility program which downloads code from files on
the host computer into Flash EPROM memory which is built-in to the
HP processor probe.
If you plan to use a version of the PowerPC other than the one for
which your HP processor probe is programmed, you must reprogram
your HP processor probe with the appropriate firmware. See the
"readme" file on the floppy disk for a list of supported processors.
Four different versions of this program are on the floppy provided
with your HP Processor Probe. The program prgflash.hp7 runs on
HP-UX Series 700 machines, prgflash.sun runs on Sun SPARC
machines running SunOS 4.1, prgflash.sol runs on Sun SPARC
machines running Solaris and prgflash.exe runs on MSDOS machines.
The prgflash.xxx utility running on UNIX machines will only update
the firmware over lan. On MS-DOS machines, prgflash.exe can only
update the firmware over serial.
The floppy provided is in MS-DOS format and can be read directly on
MS-DOS machines, HP-UX Series 700 and Solaris machines equipped
with a 3.5 inch floppy drive.
