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.
