5 Upgrading the CPU cards

This chapter describes how to upgrade the Boot PROM, CPLD and application code for the CPU

cards, two of which are fitted to the Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Omega and Eclipse HX-Delta

matrices.

Note:

This guide is laid out in the order in which you must upgrade your Eclipse HX software and hardware

devices. For a quick reference to upgrading your system, see

3 Quick reference: Upgrading to Eclipse HX.

Eclipse HX devices are powered by mains voltage. Unless specifically

advised to the contrary, disconnect mains supply before carrying out any

maintenance or repair tasks. Observe precautions for handling electrostatic

sensitive devices.

Changing the CPU card PROM, RAM and DIP switch settings

The CPU card PROM and RAM should be changed at the same time. The CPU card DIP switch

settings must also be upgraded.

5.1 Changing the CPU card PROM

Important note:

When you change the CPU card PROM, you must also change the CPU card RAM (from 128Mb RAM

to 256Mb RAM). See 5.2 Changing the CPU card RAM below.

To change the CPU card PROM:

1. Ensure that you have the following equipment:

• 2MBit PROM device (ST M27W201 or equivalent).

• PROM Programming Unit (with the appropriate programming software for that unit).

• The *.s record file for the CPU card boot PROM. To find the file, go to:

Hardware DVD > Eclipse HX-Omega-Median-Delta > xxxxxxZ – Config boot

PROM

Where xxxxxxZ represents the product number.

The folder contains the *.s record file and a Read Me file (*.txt), with version

information.

2. Program the PROM device with the *.s record file. Follow the instructions for the PROM

Programming Unit you are using.

Note:

Ensure that the PROM device is empty before you begin programming.
