Radome1 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I have two PMAC-VME boards. Operational board running v1.17w/40Mhz processor. One back up board running ver 1.16 w/20 Mhz processor. We made software changes and wanted to update the backup board and it failed during the download of new files. Mistakenly I believe we installed the jumper 51 and reset it to factory default erasing the original files. I have tried many iterations of download attempt with nothing successful. I am beginning to believe the backup board has failed in some way. The battery is good. Am I missing something in this process? Is there a problem with v 1.16 vs v 1.17?

Radome1 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Can I have this cards firmware upgraded from 1.16 to 1.17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 This isn't an actual error but a warning that the 1.16 firmware is older than 1.16F and does not have the enhance communication I-variables I63 and I64. You should be able to proceed after this without issues. You won't be able to update the 1.16 to a 1.17 but you can update it to a 1.16H. This will give you the I63 and I64 capability. Send an E-mail to support@deltatau.com to request this version of firmware. Provide the part-number of the PMAC-VME and CPU section.
