Main PCB Firmware Chips

The main PCB has one field-changeable flash memory chip for the M&C firmware. If
necessary, this chip can be removed and a new chip added to allow for additional options,
enhancements, or repairs. See Figure 2-5 for the locations of the field-changeable chips.
The bulk firmware for the FPGA downloads is stored in a non-replaceable flash memory device.
Bulk firmware can be upgraded by reflashing the device through the remote control port as
described in paragraph 2.6. The M&C firmware also can be upgraded by reflashing through the
host port.
