## Software/Firmware Upgrade

This section describes briefly how to do a Software/Firmware upgrade starting with the Select System for Software Update dialog.

Note

Before you start with an upgrade, go to the Hardware Details dialog to check if the CPU-D4 is upgradeable.

To access the Select System for Software Update dialog, open the Tools directory tree and click on the Software/Firmware Upgrade menu.

For further information, see also Maintenance Instruction(1541-ASB 150 02 Uen).

### Installing the Software/Firmware Files

Four files are necessary to upgrade the BusinessPhone software. These files must be located in the appropriate directory on the BMS Server. The latest binary software/firmware files will be provided by your local Ericsson Support Centre.

- In the Select System for Software Update dialog, click on the File Manager button.

- The File Manager dialog opens, showing all available *bin, *me and generated *.txt files.

Note

If you do not need a specific file any longer, click on Delete to remove the file from the File Manager.

- In the File Manager Dialog, click on the Browse button to import the required files for the upgrading. You can only import one file at a time.
- In the pop up dialog, click on Open. The dialog closes. The file name appears in the Text box.
- Click on the Submit button. The file is copied automatically to the appropriate directory on the BMS Server.
- Repeat this for the remaining three files.

- A so-called Difference File (or Delta file) is created and saved to the same directory on BMS Server.
- If you know the software version running on your BusinessPhone is known, you can use the Create a Software Upgrade File to create the Difference File.
- If the current version is not known, select the BusinessPhone you want to upgrade and press the Submit button. BMS will log on to the desired BusinessPhone.

- Type “s” to view the software version running in the BusinessPhone. Now you can use the Create a Software Upgrade File to create the Difference File.

- Size of the respective firmware application images

- MFU = 512kB; BTU-B2, BTU-D, ELU-D3 =256kB

- State of FW upgrade Flash memory on the CPU-D4

- Shows the status of the upload process to the CPU-D4 upgrade FLASH memory. Normal states are OK or UPGRADE WAS ORDERED. Any other status information indicates that one or more errors occurred during the last upload process. The upgrade of a specific firmware application image can only be ordered if the state variable indicates “OK” within this menu.

- Product number and revision

- Product information elements about already loaded/stored firmware application images.

- Checksum of loaded firmware application image
- Amount of spare memory in firmware upgrade FLASH circuit.

- Information about free memory within the firmware upgrade FLASH memory.
