S600 Instruction Manual
8.3.1 Reflash Firmware
Using this procedure, you can reprogram the S600’s Flash memory
with new values for the operating system components and the
application firmware.
Caution
Under no circumstances should you turn off the S600 while it is erasing or
reprogramming the Flash memory. Doing so renders the S600 unusable.
If this occurs, you must reload the S600 with a basic version of the VxWorks
binary file from the BIOS chip. You would also need to reload the
configuration files and the correct version of the VxWorks binary files.
To reprogram the Flash memory:
1. Access the Startup menu on the front panel of the S600 (refer to
Section 7.3.1).
2. Select REFLASH FIRMWARE from the Startup menu.
3. Press 1 to confirm the selection. The following message displays:
PERFORM CONFIG 600 FLASH COMMAND NOW
4. Access the Transfer program in the Config600 software, select the
required vxworks.bin file, and click Send Now to download it to
the S600.
5. The following message displays on the front panel:
RECEIVING BINARY FILE
Once the S600 has successfully downloaded the file, the following
message displays on the front panel:
RECEIVED OK
Note: Do not proceed if the front panel displays the message
FLASH FAILED. Remove the power connector for 5 seconds and
re-apply power. The S600 redisplays the startup menu. Begin again
at step 1.
6. The S600 then erases and reprograms the Flash memory and
displays the message:
RESETTING - PLEASE WAIT
7. The S600 then restarts. If the S600 has not restarted after 30
seconds, remove the power connector for 5 seconds to return to the
startup menu. Begin again at step 1.
8.3.2 Send and Reflash the Config File
Using this procedure, you can download a new configuration file to
the S600 and reprogram the S600’s Flash memory with those new
values.
To reflash the configuration data file:
1. Select Transfer Data from the Config600 software.
