Software Update

 

Risk of software damage!

The power supply must not be interrupted under any circumstances during the software update. Otherwise, this can lead to serious errors and the EasyNOₓ will no longer work.

   

Back up data from the device and the NOX monitor

Before updating the software, back up the activated devices (see section Devices) and the EasyNOₓ configuration (see section Display).

To back up the protocols and the logbook of the NOX monitor, remove the memory card from the EasyNOₓ when the power is switched off.

The folders and files on the memory card must remain unchanged.

For each year the NOX monitor has logs for, a folder with the corresponding year number exists on the memory card. Back up the desired year folders to a PC.

To back up logbooks, back up the desired Logbook_x folder (0 = first NOX monitor, 1 = second NOX monitor) to a PC.

After backing up the data, first insert the memory card into the EasyNOₓ before supplying the device with power. When inserting the memory card, make sure that it is not write-protected by an accidentally flipped write-protect switch.

  

You receive software updates for the EasyNOₓ from MOTORTECH. A software update consists of several update files with signature files for verification of the update files. You need a USB flash drive to install updates. The current software version of your EasyNOₓ is displayed in the Display Information view (see section Display).

Perform updates as follows:

  1. Read and observe all information provided with the update (e.g. release notes, README file).
  2. Make sure that the update files correspond to the board support package of your EasyNOₓ. The Display Information view (see section Display) displays the installed board support package of your EasyNOₓ. In the file name of the update files, you can identify the board support package by the version number after BSP (e.g. rocko-7.0-0).
  3. Save the update files with the extension .tar.bz2 and the corresponding signature files with the extension .sha1 in the root directory of a USB flash drive.
  4. Insert the USB flash drive into your running EasyNOₓ.
