HIL Firmware Manager
This section describes HIL Firmware Manager
The HIL Firmware Manager application allows the user to automatically upgrade firmware on multiple HIL40x/60x devices and customize device settings. All device firmware files are packed together with the Typhoon HIL Control Center installation and an additional firmware download is not required.
The Firmware Manager lets you either start the upgrade process on the desired device, or, if your firmware is up to date, let you change your firmware configuration. Updating multiple connected devices of the same type is also possible; the Firmware Manager will update them sequentially, one at a time.
Perform the firmware upgrade procedure by following the steps below:
- Power up and connect the HIL device
- Run the HIL Firmware Manager application. Upon start the Firmware Manager will
automatically detect all connected HIL devices and show their firmware status.
- Select the desired HIL device and click on the Update Firmware button. The Firmware Manager will find the appropriate firmware and start the update process automatically.
- Firmware update progress for each selected device is shown in a separate window
- The firmware upgrade or configuration change procedure can take more than a minute to
complete. After updates are finished on all devices, an appropriate message is shown.
If you click on the Device Table button you can get more detailed information about features available in different firmware configurations (Figure 1).
