ElmoMC SimplIQ Command Reference - Manual (Page 42)

DF/DS - Download Firmware
Purpose:
Downloads a new firmware version. These commands are designed as part of a sequence
that is normally performed and controlled by the Composer program, which reads the
firmware update file provided by Elmo, and performs a sequence of actions that includes
the DF/DS command.
Notes:
ƒ After new firmware is downloaded, the drive reboots. All data stored in
temporary variables in the RAM is lost.
ƒ Loading new firmware does not normally affect the non-volatile application
variables in the data flash memory. Downloading a major software revision may,
however, destroy the non-volatile data. The Composer program will warn you of
risks of non-volatile data losses.
ƒ The DS command is used for downloading the new firmware version for the
SimplIQ drive’s sub-processor.
