File Transfers
Introduction
Overview
The Battery Management System Management Card automatically
recognizes binary firmware files. Each of these files contains a header and
one or more Cyclical Redundancy Checks (CRCs) to ensure that the data
contained in the file is not corrupted before or during the transfer operation.
When new firmware is transmitted to the Management Card, the program
code is updated and new features become available.
This chapter describes how to transfer firmware files to Battery
Management System Management Cards.
To transfer a firmware file to a Management Card, see
Upgrading Firmware .
To verify a file transfer, see Verifying Upgrades and Updates .
