5 Upgrading the CPU cards
This chapter describes how to upgrade the Boot PROM, CPLD and application code for the CPU
cards, two of which are fitted to the Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Omega and Eclipse HX-Delta
matrices.
Note:
This guide is laid out in the order in which you must upgrade your Eclipse HX software and hardware
devices. For a quick reference to upgrading your system, see
3 Quick reference: Upgrading to Eclipse HX.
Eclipse HX devices are powered by mains voltage. Unless specifically
advised to the contrary, disconnect mains supply before carrying out any
maintenance or repair tasks. Observe precautions for handling electrostatic
sensitive devices.
Changing the CPU card PROM, RAM and DIP switch settings
The CPU card PROM and RAM should be changed at the same time. The CPU card DIP switch
settings must also be upgraded.
5.1 Changing the CPU card PROM
Important note:
When you change the CPU card PROM, you must also change the CPU card RAM (from 128Mb RAM
to 256Mb RAM). See 5.2 Changing the CPU card RAM below.
To change the CPU card PROM:
1. Ensure that you have the following equipment:
• 2MBit PROM device (ST M27W201 or equivalent).
• PROM Programming Unit (with the appropriate programming software for that unit).
• The *.s record file for the CPU card boot PROM. To find the file, go to:
Hardware DVD > Eclipse HX-Omega-Median-Delta > xxxxxxZ – Config boot
PROM
Where xxxxxxZ represents the product number.
.
The folder contains the *.s record file and a Read Me file (*.txt), with version
information.
2. Program the PROM device with the *.s record file. Follow the instructions for the PROM
Programming Unit you are using.
Note:
Ensure that the PROM device is empty before you begin programming.
