Automatic BusEngine and Firmware Updates

BusEngine and Firmware updates often need to be performed when you update the
SATA Suite software. These updates can be performed automatically or manually. Both
processes are described.
Updating
The BusEngine core is the heart of the LeCroy SATA Analyzer. Using FPGA technology,
the
it incorporates both the high speed recording engine and the configurable building blocks
BusEngine
that implement data/state/error detections, triggering, capture filtering, external signal
monitoring, and event counting and sequencing. Both the BusEngine program and the
Firmware that manages the internal microcontroller are fully field updateable.
Within a new software release, it may be necessary to update the Analyzer's BusEngine
hardware for proper operation. The Readme file lets you know if this is necessary.
Updating
Within a new software release, it may also be necessary to update the Analyzer's
the
firmware for proper operation. The Readme file informs you if this is necessary.
Firmware
Automatic
When the SATA Suite software is updated, the software may become incompatible with
Updates
the BusEngine and Firmware. If a recording is attempted, SATA Suite displays an error
message and then automatically begins an update process for the BusEngine and
Firmware.
To perform an automatic BusEngine and Firmware update, follow these steps:
LeCroy Corporation
Step 1 If needed, update the SATA Suite software, following the steps
outlined in "Software Updates."
Step 2 Turn on the Analyzer.
Step 3 Select Start > Record from the menu.
Because the BusEngine and/or the Firmware are incompatible with the
current SATA Suite software version, an error message appears
showing your current versions and indicating what versions you need to
install.
