In the following is a description of a software update process.
Firmware update (all Operating Systems):
The firmware update is performed with the JM3 Robot Tool. Details are described in chapter 4.
• Connect to the PC/Notebook using a USB cable (Mirco-B / TypeA).
• Start the JM3 Robot Tool and select the “Firmware.hex” file.
• Turn on the Marvin robot and connect to the PC/Notebook.
• Start it with a click on the “Upload icon”.
Hint: Firmware and iRP SD card image always belong together!
After an update always delete the browser cache!
4.6.1 Micro SD-Card update (Ubuntu-Linux):
The SD card update is started either by double-clicking on the image file (*.img), or by running an
“right-click” on the image file, and selecting “Writing drive image”. After this, a window “Restore drive
image” appears.
• Select your Micro SD card.
• Start the image update with “restore ...”
• Wait until the image has been copied completely.
• Please “eject” the drive.
4.6.2 Micro SD-Card update (Linux - general):
The SD card image is executed with the command “dd”.
• Insert the SD card with the USB adapter.
• Open a terminal window.
• Check the ID “/dev/sdX” of the SD card by running the command “sudo fdisk -l”.
• Note the ID of the SD card (it must have a size of approximately 2GBytes and contain exactly one
Linux partition).
• “Unmount” the SD card with the command “sudo umount /dev/sdX”.
• Start the image update with the command “sudo dd bs=1M if=myImage.img of=/dev/sdX”.
