File Transfers

Introduction

Overview

The Battery Management System Management Card automatically recognizes binary firmware files. Each of these files contains a header and one or more Cyclical Redundancy Checks (CRCs) to ensure that the data contained in the file is not corrupted before or during the transfer operation.

When new firmware is transmitted to the Management Card, the program code is updated and new features become available.

This chapter describes how to transfer firmware files to Battery Management System Management Cards.

To transfer a firmware file to a Management Card, see

Upgrading Firmware.

To verify a file transfer, see Verifying Upgrades and Updates.
