The IntelliVAC plus system is made of up two boards each of which

contains distinct firmware modules. The IntelliVAC Plus contains a

bootloader and an application, and the IntelliVAC Base contains a

separate bootloader and application. These pieces of firmware have

been designed to operate together to offer several different options

for updating firmware of both modules.

IntelliVAC Base Module Bootloader

The IntelliVAC base module bootloader is a program which is

programmed onto the main processor of the IntelliVAC base module

during construction of the module. The purpose of the base module

bootloader is to allow the IntelliVAC base module firmware to be

upgraded in the field. It uses a simple interface and can be accessed

through the serial port, and hyper terminal program included with

any windows based personal computer.

IntelliVAC Base Module Application Code

The application code is the code responsible for performing all

functions of the IntelliVAC base. It is upgradeable via the

IntelliVAC base module bootloader, and any PC with a serial port,

and hyper terminal software.

IntelliVAC Plus Bootloader

The IntelliVAC plus bootloader firmware is programmed onto the

main processor of the IntelliVAC plus during manufacturing. It has

the ability to be upgraded in the field, via either DeviceNet using the

control flash application, or using a serial port and hyper terminal on

any personal computer.
