Vantage Pro® Updater
Status LED Summary Table
Troubleshooting Notes
On power up the Updater will beep twice and sequence the colors of the LED.
When the LED is GREEN it is ready to use. The first beep indicates the processor
is running. The second beep means it can talk to the flash memory where the
firmware image to be loaded is stored.
•
If you do not hear a beep after powering up, the battery is dead or some-
thing is wrong with the Updater.
•
If you do hear a beep after powering up, but the LED is left off showing no
color, the Updater has detected a low battery condition.
•
If, after pressing the Start button the LED does not change to flashing YEL-
LOW but instead beeps twice and goes to RED, the Updater cannot talk to
the console. Check connections and press Start again.
•
If firmware has been updated correctly, the status LED turns GREEN.
•
If a target flash page does not verify, the status LED will turn solid RED.
•
If the fuse bits do not program correctly, the status LED will be solid YEL-
LOW.
•
If the console did not program correctly, you can push the Start button to
try to program it again.
•
If the firmware fails the verification, the status LED will start flashing RED.
You can push the Start button to leave this state and go to the GREEN state.
Note: The Vantage Pro Updater sends diagnostic messages through its serial port that may be
helpful if the operator is puzzled about what is going on. These messages can be viewed in
PROCOMM or HYPERTERMINAL.
