Upgrading the Boot Code Firmware
This section shows how to upgrade the boot code firmware (*.BOO)
stored on the KIC Card. Upgrading of the boot code firmware is not
normally required, even if the application code firmware is upgraded.
Upgrading the boot code firmware on the KIC card requires:
•
setting the P2 jumper to the correct position on the KIC card.
•
downloading the boot code *.BOO file to the KIC card.
Note:
You cannot edit the boot code firmware file (*.BOO).
Allen-Bradley supplies this file when an upgrade of the KIC card is
required.
Setting the P2 Jumper
When upgrading the boot code firmware, the P2 jumper on the KIC card
(in the computer) must be in the Normal position. The position of the P2
jumper and its location on the KIC card is shown below.

Removing Jumper P2 from the board enables write

Configuration Utility cannot write to the KIC boot code.
