Chapter 5: Installing/Updating Emulator Firmware
Updating the firmware using a PC
Step 3: Run "progflash" to update emulator
firmware
• Enter the following command:
PROGFLASH
The PROGFLASH command downloads code from files on the PC host computer
into Flash EPROM memory in the HP 64700. The full syntax is:
PROGFLASH [-V] [EMUL_NAME] [PRODUCT]
The -V option means "verbose". It causes progress status messages to be displayed
during operation.
The EMUL_NAME option is the logical emulator name as specified in the
\HP64700\TABLES\64700TAB file. Note that this name may be "unknown" if
you didn't edit this file, but PROGFLASH will still work properly.
The PRODUCT option names the product whose firmware is to be updated
(eg: 64782).
If you enter the PROGFLASH command without options, it becomes interactive.
If you don't include the EMUL_NAME option, PROGFLASH displays the logical
names listed in the \HP64700\TABLES\64700TAB file and asks you to choose
one. If you don't include the PRODUCT option, PROGFLASH displays the
products which have firmware update files on the system and asks you to choose
one. You can abort the interactive PROGFLASH command by pressing <CTRL>c.
PROGFLASH will return 0 if it is successful; otherwise, it will return a nonzero
(error) and a message will be written on the standard error output. If an error
occurs, return to Step 1 of this procedure and change the setting of switch S4 (the
DCE/DTE switch). Then cycle power on the card cage and try this "Step 3"
procedure again.
You can verify the update by displaying the firmware version information.
