If I understand correctly, I've to plug this very ROM to be able to use the auto-update functions and your auto-update-process-Software, right? But, I cannot locate the ROM-Image in the Library. Could you please direct me to it (what is the name in the database?). Thanks in advance!

Hello Juergen,

No update ROM or Java application has been released yet.

The update process will look like the following ...

First, you will have to download the update rom in the 41CL and activate it.
-> instructions will be supplied for this step

Then, you will have to start the java program on the host

Code:

Windows ex.: java -jar clupdate-0.5.1.jar --update rom_files.zip COM4 4800 [ENTER]
Linux   ex.: java -jar clupdate-0.5.1.jar --update rom_files.zip /dev/ttyUSB0 4800 [ENTER]

Finally you will have to do these steps on the 41CL

Code:

CMOPEN    // open the communication channel
"*"       // flash range to verify (* = all)
FLCHK?    // download FLDB as CFLDB, find outdated ROM images, update CFLDB, then upload CFLDB to the PC
"*"       // flash range to update (* = all)
FLUPD     // download outdated images found by FLCHK? and update flash memory
CMCLOSE   // close the communication channel

At that point your 41CL is up to date. 8-)

But like Monte said, we are just starting the limited beta phase and things are still soft at the moment.
I still need to add more functionality to the program, write the user manual, write the presentation file for the HHC2017, etc.

Please be patient, it is coming!

PS: in the meantime, read the cl_update.pdf document from Monte.
