3.10 FIRMWARE UPDATE
The Datalogic Skorpio™ is equipped with a tool that implements a firmware update
service.
This tool, called Datalogic Updater (DLUpdater), is compatible with all hardware
versions of the following WindowsCE 5.0 models:
Datalogic Skorpio™;
Datalogic Jet™;
Datalogic Kyman™;
Datalogic Memor™.
The DLUpdater, that is automatically invoked at startup, search for a potential update
file (DLUpdate.bin) in the storage card. If it finds it, it proceeds to update only the
components that are damaged or not updated. An update can be explicitly invoked
by running the application DLUpdater.exe, provided together with the update file.
The update must be contained in folder “\Storage Card”.
CAUTION
It is advisable, even if not binding, to connect the terminal to an
external power source before starting the update process. This
prevents the terminal from turning off while running and avoids a
corruption of flash content.
CAUTION
After the update process, all the data stored in the backup folder
could be irreparably lost, as well as the device configuration (even
that one stored in persistent memory). Therefore, before starting a
firmware update it is advisable to run a backup copy of the data you
want to preserve on SD Card or on PC (e.g. using ActiveSync).
