12.2 Programming the AES16e firmware
Firmware is a set of configuration data that controls the low-level operation of a hardware device. The
firmware can be altered to change how a particular function works or add new features. From time to time,
Lynx will provide new firmware to improve the functionality of a product. End users cannot alter firmware
supplied by Lynx.
Firmware is stored on the card in electronically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) so
that it is retained when power is not supplied. The contents of the EEPROM can be erased and then
replaced using Lynx firmware updater programs.
When updating the Lynx firmware, it is critical that the computer not be turned off or the process
interrupted in any way. If it is, the card may stop functioning and need to be returned to the factory to be re-
programmed.
Firmware updaters are posted on the Download page of the Lynx website for Windows and OSX platforms.
It is recommended to read the firmware release notes to determine if a new firmware version is applicable
to your situation. Also, occasionally firmware updates require updated drivers in order to function
correctly, and this will be documented in the firmware release notes.
The Lynx AES16e firmware updaters can be downloaded and launched with or without a driver loaded.
Follow the prompts to complete the programming process. Shut down the computer when prompted. When
the computer is powered up again the new firmware will be active.
