1707.0. "DEGWB Upgrade Clarification please !!" by BLKPUD::WARNESG (Mae hen iaith y Cymry more fyw ag erioed) Fri Nov 18 1994 10:55

    
    
    Can someone quickly clarify the procedure for upgrading DECbridge 90's
    to firmware V3.1 from earlier versions ?
    
    I have seen pointers to instructions elsewhere in the conference, but
    the info is either no longer available or (seems) incomplete.
    
    I know from a VMS host I can enter a temporary node name into NCP with
    the h/w address of the DEGWB and specifying a load file of FLASH.EXE
    (3.1 firmware upgrade file as obtained via EASYNET).  I can then force
    a LOAD of the DEGWB from NCP via the "LOAD NODE" command.
    
    What I am unsure of is what action should follows the load ???
    
    Do I need to do anything after this (power off/on the DECbridge, for
    example ?)
    
    
    I just can't seem to find this procedure properly documented.
    
    Any help much appreciated !

    Graham,
    
    A good place to start is with note 1368.  This note contains a pointer
    to the DEChub Consolidated Firmware Kit which contains the DECbridge 90
    V3.1 firmware.  There is a file called HOW2LOAD.TXT which describes how
    you can load a DECbridge 90 using DECndu Plus.  I can try to dig up the
    procedure to use NCP to trigger a load from a VMS load host if you need
    it.
