- 1. Application Note 860 DSPi Firmware Upgrade Instructions This Application Note discusses how to upgrade the firmware of the 860 DSPi. There are three ways to upgrade the 860 DSPi as follows: • Serial – Use a serial cable to directly connect a PC to the 860 DSPi. • Ethernet - Use a router that is configured as a DHCP server. You must first be sure that the router you are using is setup to assign IP addresses using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). • Ethernet - Use a cross-over cable to directly connect a PC and the 860 DSPi that are both assigned a static IP address within the same range. Serial Connection Prerequisites The following tasks must be completed before performing the firmware upgrade: • Connect the 860 DSPi to the PC using the 860 DSPi serial cable. • Connect the 860 DSPi to the charge cube and plug the charge cube into AC power. • You must have WorkBench Software. Upgrade Firmware Perform the following steps using WorkBench: 1. Under the Online tab select the “Updates & Upgrades” link, and then select the “Click here to download 860 DSP or 860 DSPi firmware“ link. This will download the firmware upgrade (.860) file. 2. Under the Devices tab, right-click 860 DSP, and then select “New 860 DSP Connection…”. 3. Select the “Connect to a device on a local serial port” radio button and select the Serial Port that the 860 DSPi is connected to. 4. Select the Connect… button.
