Configuration MC132x Users Manual Rev. 0.22

The application program is the active microcontroller program in the camera, which supports communi-

cation, data handling and fpga program updates.

See description of update procedure in chapter “Firmware update procedure”.

6.8.2 Update FPGA firmware

MC132x’s logic is integrated into a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), which’s configuration is

stored in an EEPROM. Upon power up or a command the FPGA is loaded with this configuration. Con-

figuration data can be downloaded via the serial interface. Mikrotron may provide configuration files

(*.ibf) on request.

After download of configuration data, this data is permanently stored in EEPROM and the FPGA is

configured with the new data. Besides a power cycle, the :c command can be used to reconfigure the

FPGA with the internally stored configuration data.

See description of update procedure in chapter “

Firmware update procedure”.

6.8.3 Firmware update procedure

Before you disable the loaded firmware please ensure that you have a adequate application firmware

version to load (e.g. MC132x….A202.ibf for application firmware, MC132x…F070.ibf for fpga firm-

ware).

(1) Start camera and test communication, e.g. with tool press “info camera” and wait for response

(serial no. and firmware)

(2) Select in menu “Write” “Write string to camera” and write command

- for application firmware update: :ERASEAPP <ENTER>

- for fpga firmware update: :ERASEEPCS1 <ENTER>

which erases the program and for application firmware will restart the camera.

After this command the camera may not be able to deliver any images,

load/send/store register or profile data. The status led of the camera will turn to red.

(3) For application firmware update only:

The camera now starts with the bootloader program. It is displayed during start by the status led

which blink one time during power up.

Test communication, e.g. with MC13xx in menu “Write string to camera” and command :v.

Response (e.g.): B2.02

(4) Select in menu “Write” “Write file to camera” and choose application file MC132x*.ibf) and

open it. The file transfer will start immediately. If the camera recognizes a newfirmware

it will switch off the status led.

Download of *.ibf file via serial link takes app. 1,5 - 2 min depending on the used

camera. There should be no loss of power or communication during this time!

(5) Wait until file transfer is finished and the status led turns on. If the upload of the file was

successful, the led will turn to green, otherwise it will be red.
