== Updating Device Firmware
|
|
|
|
TeleGPS is programmed directly over its USB connectors.
|
|
|
|
You may wish to begin by ensuring you have current firmware images.
|
|
These are distributed as part of the TeleGPS software bundle that
|
|
also includes the TeleGPS ground station program. Newer ground
|
|
station versions typically work fine with older firmware versions,
|
|
so you don't need to update your devices just to try out new
|
|
software features. You can always download the most recent
|
|
version from http://www.altusmetrum.org/AltOS/
|
|
|
|
=== Updating TeleGPS Firmware
|
|
|
|
. Attach a battery and power switch to the target
|
|
device. Power up the device.
|
|
|
|
. Using a Micro USB cable, connect the target device to
|
|
your computer's USB socket.
|
|
|
|
. Run TeleGPS, and select 'Flash Device' from the
|
|
Device menu.
|
|
|
|
. Select the target device in the Device Selection
|
|
dialog.
|
|
|
|
. Select the image you want to flash to the device,
|
|
which should have a name in the form
|
|
<product>-v<product-version>-<software-version>.ihx,
|
|
such as TeleGPS-v1.0-1.4.0.ihx.
|
|
|
|
. Make sure the configuration parameters are reasonable
|
|
looking. If the serial number and/or RF configuration
|
|
values aren't right, you'll need to change them.
|
|
|
|
. Hit the 'OK' button and the software should proceed
|
|
to flash the device with new firmware, showing a
|
|
progress bar.
|
|
|
|
. Verify that the device is working by using the
|
|
'Configure Device item to check over the
|
|
configuration.
