Firmware Upgrades
Chapter Objectives
This chapter provides topics on how to upgrade firmware in a terminal.
Terminal Firmware
Firmware components are packaged as execute-in-place (XIP) regions in a single
System Code (SC) .img file. When the SC .img file is copied to the Virtual File
System (VFS) on the terminal, the terminal's XIP regions are updated and the
terminal restarts automatically. These firmware components are affected during
an upgrade:
• FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Station
• Communication protocols and drivers including Kepware drivers
• Windows fonts
• Windows CE Pro components
• FactoryTalk components
• User extensions
A firmware upgrade does not affect these terminal components or settings:
• Windows registry
• File system including the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition application
loaded in the terminal
• Network parameters including the network device name, DHCP-enabled
and static IP addressing, speed, and duplex setting
• Display settings
• Screen saver configuration
• Touch-screen calibration
