How do load v4.1.0.2 onto an EDS4100, EDS8PR, EDS16PR, EDS32PR, EDS8PS or EDS16PS?
Due to changes in the memory allocation and operating system of the EDS, the following procedure must start with an EDS runninng v.4.0.0.0.
If you are running firmware earlier than v4.0.0.0 follow the procedure in this article, then return to this article:
A Special Upgrade Process For External Evolution Products For Version 4.0.0.0
EDS4100:
Download eds4100.romz and eds4100boot.romz
EDS8PR, EDS16PR and EDS32PR:
Download eds8pr.romz, eds16pr.romz or eds32pr.romz, depending on your model of EDSxPR and edsprboot.romz
EDS8PS and EDS16PS:
Download edsps.romz and edspsboot.romz
PLEASE FOLLOW THIS PROCESS. Should a failure occur the unit will be unreachable on the network and you may not be able to recover.
To upgrade from v4.0.0.0 code v4.1.0.2, follow the procedure below. In the file names below, eds[x] indicates the prefix of the file you downloaded for your model of EDS:
- Open or connect to the Evolution Web manager either via device installer's web configuration, or by opening a browser and typing in the IP address of the EDS.
- Type in the user name and password. They are admin and PASS by default.
- From the orange menu options on the left, select System
- Under Upload New Firmware select Browse and navigate to the file eds[x].romz you downloaded in the first part of this article
- Click Upload. The file will automatically load and the EDS will reboot.
- When the EDS has finished rebooting, return to System in the Evolution web manager and navigate to the eds[x]boot.romz file as in step 4.
- Click Upload. The file will automatically load and the EDS will reboot.
- When the EDS finishes rebooting, return to System in the Evolution web manager and Upload the eds[x].romz (again) as in step 4. (This must be done because the bootloader reorganizes the memory partition.)
NOTE: Use the DeviceInstaller serial recovery method to attempt to recover from a failed upgrade. See: DeviceInstaller firmware serial recovery procedure
