7.1 Creating an EDC file
The EDC file contains all the information needed to update the firmware, includ-
ing the system menu.
The EDC file must be generated. Follow these steps:
1.
Unpack the corresponding firmware package. This package is provided for
you by Jetter Support (support@jetter.de).
2.
Run script
edc_make.bat
.
ð
3 files are generated, one for each of the available interfaces:
■
41434445.EDC
: Updating the firmware and system menu via USB
■
41434445_EDC_x_x_x_x_.hex
: Updating the firmware and system menu via
CAN bus
■
41434445_Emergency.hex
: Update firmware and system menu via RS232
(not supported).
7.2 Description of the IOP file of the system menu
Fig. 7: Jetter software
ISO-Designer
The system menu is written by an IOP file that is usually created using ISO-De-
signer software from Jetter.
Running script
edc_make.bat
, which is included in the firmware package, links
the IOP file with the files of the firmware in an EDC file and transfers them to-
gether to the control unit (Creating an EDC file).
