3.9 FIRMWARE UPDATE
The Datalogic Joya™ is equipped with a tool that implements a firmware update
service.
This tool, called Datalogic Updater (DLUpdater), is compatible with all
hardware versions of the following WindowsCE 5.0 models:
Datalogic Skorpio™;
Datalogic Jet™;
Datalogic Kyman™;
Datalogic Joya™
Datalogic Memor™.
The DLUpdater, that is automatically invoked at startup, searching for a
potential update file (DLUpdate.bin). If it finds it, it proceeds to update only the
components that are damaged or not updated. An update can be explicitly
invoked by running the application DLUpdater.exe, provided together with the
update file. The update must be contained in folder “\BACKUP”.
CAUTION
It is advisable, even if not binding, to connect the terminal to
an external power source before starting the update
process. This prevents the terminal from turning off while
running and avoids a corruption of flash content.
CAUTION
After the update process, all the data stored in the backup
folder could be irreparably lost, as well as the device
configuration (even that one stored in persistent memory).
Therefore, before starting a firmware update it is advisable
to run a backup copy of the data you want to preserve on
PC (e.g. using ActiveSync).
