Update the User Controller Firmware
Note: The User Controller Firmware update only needs to be done once, whether the UNIMUX switch is a single-user, or
a multi-user model.
The user controller firmware comes as a file in binary format and has the extension .bin. (i.e. filename.bin). To upgrade the user
controller to this file, press
<u> from Terminal window. The following message should appear on the screen:
Erasing flash memory…
Memory successfully erased
Send .bin file using Xmodem protocol..
At this point the binary file
unimux-suhd-csx-x.bin must be sent. To do this, from HyperTerminal:
1. go to “Transfer” menu in the Menu Bar of the HyperTerminal window
2. click the item “Send File …”
3. in the dialog box which pops up on the screen, browse for the file to be sent and select it
4. select “Xmodem” from the Protocol drop-down menu
5. press “Send” button
The transmission will start shortly. Wait until the transmission is finished. There will be some pauses during transmission, since
the processor writes blocks of 4KB.
When the transmission is complete, the HyperTerminal window should show the following status message and return to the menu
prompt:
Device successfully programmed!
>
To exit from the bootloader, press
<x>.
Update the HID Port Controller Firmware
The HID port controller firmware comes as a file in Intel Hex format and has the extension .hex (i.e. filename.hex). To upgrade
any of HID controllers (there is one per CPU port) with this firmware, press
<p> from the terminal window. The following message
should appear on the screen:
Send .hex file using XModem protocol...
At this point, the hex format file
unimux-suhd-cpkmx-x.hex has to be sent, using HyperTerminal and the same procedure as
before. When the transmission is done, the following message will be shown in the HyperTerminal window:
File transfer OK!
Please, type the two-digit number of the port to be updated,
<A> to program all or <X> to exit
(the two-digit number should be between 01 and nn,
where nn is the number of available ports):
