Firmware Updates

Overview

Over time, updates to the Display Module firmware may become available that resolve bugs and add new features.

Dash Design may be used to re-flash the Display Module with new firmware.

Firmware Update Procedure

Ensure that the Display Module is attached to the PC. Ethernet based Display Modules may be attached directly to the PC with an ethernet cable or to a Local Area Network (LAN).

Display Modules that connect using USB should show a special screen once attached to the PC.

Select Tools | Upload Firmware.... A dialog will be shown to allow selection of the Display Module that should be programmed.

Select the Display Module to be programmed from the list. Typically there will only be one so the first item is selected by default.

Select a firmware file using the Firmware Filename picker. File paths can be pasted here or browsed using the … button.

Click the Upload button to begin programming the firmware into the display.

Programming Progress

The progress of the procedure will be shown, along with a log of messages.

Do not switch off the Display Module during the programming procedure as this may corrupt the firmware.

If the process fails, refer to the message log as it may identify the cause.

Once the programming is complete, the Display Module may be disconnected from the PC to reboot it.
