Version 6.41 Table 14. New MCPU Firmware and Hardware Quantity per Board New Firmware, Hardware Part Number Board(s)/ Part Number MCPU FLASH SIMMs (J1, J2) (Ver. 3 & 4 systems only) 2 160135-00 MCPU/062876-xx MCPU 80960CF (SU8) MicroProcessor (E0 STEP) (Ver. 3, 4, & 5 systems only) 1 SC2813-00 MCPU/062876-xx Description Install the MCPU(s). The FLASH ROMs have been preloaded with MCPU application software.
Hardware, Firmware, and Software Installation MCPU Network Parameters Configuration This is to be used when upgrading from versions 3.x and 4.x only. If not already connected, connect a dumb terminal to the system CTL port. It is necessary to configure your MCPU network parameters to allow proper communication of network devices such as the GUI PC. Verify that the left MCPU (MCPU #1) is up and running as primary (yellow LED on).
Version 6.41 Program MCPU Software This is to be used when upgrading from versions 5.x and 6.x only. Application software version 6.41 must be loaded into MCPU FLASH for systems updating from 5.x and 6.x to work properly. You must remove the redundant MCPU from the frame while booting from the Ethernet or SLIP device. You will perform Step 4 for the primary MCPU and then repeat it for any redundant MCPU. The redundant MCPU will use slightly different names and IP addresses.
Hardware, Firmware, and Software Installation Inquire of the Main MCPU parameters first, and then with the Backup MCPU installed and the Main MCPU removed repeat the process. The Back-up MCPU uses slightly a different name and IP address. In the example below, Backup MCPU(s) name and IP address are indicated in brackets [] to the right of the Main MCPU entries.
Version 6.41 3. Change the Boot Device back to MCPU Flash ROM Using the reboot or booted command, change the boot device back to fi for Flash. Using the p command, verify that the boot parameters are set to the following: boot device: fi processor number: 0 host name: PC file name: SMS inet on ethernet (e): 192.0.2.2:ffffff00 [192.0.2.3:ffffff00] inet on backplane (b):[blank] host inet (h): 192.0.2.
Hardware, Firmware, and Software Installation Option 1 Select option 1 for the normal load of universal and programmed button panels plus the custom panels such a cubicle or studio, machine control, source ID, client-server and under monitor display types. This option includes the Non GVP alien matrixes via native protocol, however, GVP matrices (Hx GPI, 440, Performer, 20-Ten via azgvg.bin) are excluded. The excluded GVP alien matrix support may be loaded individually from the C:\SMS7000 directory.
Version 6.41 Option 2 Select option 2 for the alternate load which includes both GVP and Non GVP alien matrix support. Option 2 requires approximately 1,770,000 bytes in the target MCPU. Since the MCPU file system is approximately 2, 080,000 bytes, this leaves approximately 300,000 bytes for config and other user files. Option 2 loads the following files: csos.bin stmg.bin mb8.mot fl.mot mb4.mot Note amezi.bin ucp.mot pxs.mot progcp.red scp.mot azgvg.bin bps32.mot pxd.mot prognc.red CLF.
Hardware, Firmware, and Software Installation To aid in panel-type identification excluded from option 2, refer to the panel descriptions in the following list: SVR.MOT CLN.MOT CLF.MOT COS.MOT MCO.MOT SID.MOT SCP.MOT MB4.MOT UMD.MOT EDP.
Version 6.41 Flash Memory Limitations and Recovery Procedure If file space is not available on the target MCPU flash file system, the PC monitor may display the following error: ---> PORT (etc.) ---> STOR file.name (which failed to load to the MCPU file system) netout: Socket is not connected Error in input file ---> QUIT C:\SMS7000> Note It will save much aggravation if you take care not to run out of flash memory.
Hardware, Firmware, and Software Installation Loading EDP Panel Software Into Nonvolatile Memory The Eight Destination Paging (EDP) panel software is not loaded as part of either Option 1 or Option 2. To load EDP software: ● Make sure there is enough room (200000 bytes) in flash memory for this software. ● To check, type C:\sms7000> dir from the diagnostic terminal to list files; ● To make space, remove unneeded control panel mot files from flash memory. For example: C:\sms7000. del mco.
Version 6.41 Because of this, the operator is required to edit the coprocessor configuration using the following procedure. 1. Start the GUI and open the configuration you saved previously. If you are opening a Version 3 configuration, you will see text in the Message Window as follows: Reading s (e.g., Reading Sources) Error on line x char y: parse error There will be one such parse error for each kind read in. They are harmless.
Hardware, Firmware, and Software Installation Load Node Controller Software This is to be used when upgrading from all versions. CAUTION This applies to systems being updated from versions 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x where the NBX boot ROM is replaced. In the following step, replacement of NBX boot ROM will cause the Node Controllers to lose their names. Note the current names so you can later restore them using the GUI Active Node Controller Rename command. 1. Program Series 7000 Node Controllers with the 6.
Version 6.41 3. Install HX NC ROMs If you have HX Node Controllers, you must remove and replace the ROM ICs containing the application. HX Node Controllers do not have FLASH ROM and therefore are not programmed using the procedure for Series 7000 Node Controllers. Table 15.
Hardware, Firmware, and Software Installation Re-Install Amezi Mezzanine This is to be used when upgrading SMS-64V Systems with Amezi Serial Control only. If your system uses an Amezi controller mezzanine board in position #2 of the MCPU mezzanines, you have placed a temporary UART in the top mezzanine slot of the MCPU to perform this update. Perform the following to re-install the Amezi. 1. At the System Diagnostic Interface, enter the following commands: SMS7000> del “console.ini” SMS7000> del “slip.
