Firmware/FPGA Code Update

The Navigator of Advantech DAQNavi provides the firmware/FPGA code download
utility. User can use this utility to update the firmware/FPGA code of the device.
Figure 3.46 shows the interface of the firmware/FPGA code download utility. To
update the firmware/FPGA code, first click "Browser" button to choose the new firm-
ware/FPGA code file. Both file version currently in the device and that of the chosen
file will be shown. Then click "Download" button to start file download operation. After
download is finished, device must be power cycled. For a PCI/PCIe device, power off
the system and then powered on again. For a USB device, disconnect both the USB
cable and the external power and then reconnect them again.
Ensure that do not turn off system power during download operation, or download
operation will fail and current firmware/FPGA code on the device will be corrupted. If
this happens, a golden pattern firmware/FPGA code will be loaded when device is
powered on next time. The golden pattern may not be the latest version file, user
should still update to the latest version using the utility.
