HIL Firmware Manager

This section describes HIL Firmware Manager

The HIL Firmware Manager application allows the user to automatically upgrade firmware on multiple HIL402/60x devices. All device firmware files are packed together with the Typhoon HIL Control Center installation and additional firmware download is not required.

The user can start the upgrade process on the desired device or, in case firmware is up to date, the firmware configuration can be changed. Updating multiple connected devices of the same type is also available and Firmware Manager will update them sequentially one by one.

Important: Do not turn off or unplug the HIL device during the firmware update procedure as it may result in the HIL device being unusable.

Important: During the firmware update procedure, all other Typhoon HIL applications should be closed.

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.

Note: Firmware Update option is available for multiple devices only if all selected devices are of the same type.

Note: Change Configuration option is available for multiple devices only if all selected devices are of the same type and their firmware is up to date.

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 update is 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).
