6.2.5. Uploading the new firmware
12. You should now see a prompt asking you to upload the file.
14. Upload the "*.bin" file supplied using the X-Modem transfer protocol of your terminal program. If
you do not start the upload within 10 minutes the unit's Boot code will time out. You can restart the
upgrade process by power cycling the unit.
The application firmware contained in a "bin" file will have a name consisting of the version number
and the product name.
For the 9625LG Series Keyer unit the name will be something like: 1v02_5_9625DSK-LGA.bin
15. The boot code will indicate whether the operation was successful upon completion of the upload.
For Example:
UPLOAD OKAY
16. The following is a list of possible reasons for a failed upload:
•
If you get the message "transfer cancelled by remote", you must restart the terminal program and
load the bin file, then remove and install the module again.
•
The supplied "*.bin" file is corrupt.
•
Wrong file specified to be uploaded.
•
Wrong file transfer protocol used – make sure you specify Xmodem, not Xmodem 1K.
•
The PCs' RS-232 communications port can't handle a port speed of 57600.
•
Noise induced into the Serial Upgrade cable.
6.2.6. Completing the Upgrade
17. If you initiated the upload from the menu system, the 9625LG Series Keyer will reboot
automatically. If you initiated the upgrade using the terminal program then type the word "boot",
without quotes, and hit the <ENTER> key once. The unit should now reboot.
18. You can now close the terminal program and disconnect the RS-232 serial cable from the PC.
6.3.
UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE – FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL OVER ETHERNET
The Nomad™ or Overture™ software can be used to update the firmware in Evertz 9625LG Series
Keyer units using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Nomad™ or Overture™ software allows you to upload
the same firmware to multiple units at the same time and with the same 'drag and drop' ease that you
use to upload media files to the keyer units. For more information see the Nomad™ section of the
Keyer Toolkit manual or refer to the Overture™ manual.
