Firmware Upgrades

NXT Firmware v2.05.25

l

Addresses an issue where corrupted network data in flash is not recovered and the
NXT board is in a constant state of reset (the 485 LEDs flash in sync). This typ-
ically happens when a controller reset command is interrupted during the reset pro-
cess, corrupting the data in flash. To handle this possibility, a backup copy of the
controller's network data is now stored in a unique location. If the controller detects
a corrupted flash or has issues with the network data, it will retrieve the backup
data and restore the primary data after it verifies that the controller's MAC address
stored is a valid Keri MAC address. If the controller's MAC address is invalid it then
writes a default MAC address: 00-14-34-ff-ff-ff and sets the IP Address to
169.254.1.1 and Subnet Mask to 255.255.0.0 allowing the controller to be redis-
covered and reconfigured via an Auto-Config.
