AdderView MATRIX MP Installation and Use Page 65
Follow the instructions given on the screen to perform the upgrade. When the
upgrade is complete the program will confirm that the upgrade has been successful
and then quit.
Step 7 - Switch the UPGRADE key to the OFF position and cycle the power
Switch the UPGRADE switch on the rear of the AdderView to the OFF position and
disconnect the power. When the power is re-applied the AdderView will operate
using the new firmware.
Some useful issues to bear in mind when performing flash upgrades
The upgrade program rewrites the AdderView's firmware code. If the upgrade
process is interrupted then the AdderView will have invalid code and will not be able
to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade process is always
fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be rectified by performing another
upgrade. If the upgrade process is interrupted accidentally then you should
immediately repeat the upgrade process without moving switch 2 from the upgrade
(ON) position. Switch 2 forces the AdderView into flash upgrade mode and prevents
the upgraded code from being run. Running faulty or partially upgraded code may
have unpredictable results and may damage your AdderView or computing
equipment. For obvious reasons, the code that the AdderView uses to perform
upgrades is not itself upgradeable - a common problem on some flash upgradeable
products that could effectively be destroyed by a partial upgrade!
WARNING - Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable
results and may damage your AdderView or computing equipment.
