3.1.3 Executing the Update

1. Calling

canupd

(or

updxxx

) with the logical net number (see above).

2. After the version control the user is asked, if the program is to be continued with the update or not.

If ‘y’ for YES is typed, the Flash EPROM will be reprogrammed regardless of the

firmware version which is more up-to date !

- If ‘n’ for NO is typed, the program is interrupted. The old firmware remains unchanged in the

Flash-EPROM.

3. To activate the new firmware the local microprocessor has to be reset. This is done by stopping and

restarting the software driver of the host CPU, e.g. by the command line:

net stop xxxx

net start xxxx

At Windows XP systems this is executed if the device is enabled or disabled at the device manager

or via a restart of the computer.
