MEMORY CARD 

The memory card feature allows the user to do three things: 

1.

 

Upgrade the firmware application, i.e. (nsd_xxxx.hex) from the 

Root 

Directory

2.

 

Change the network configuration, i.e. (NomadSD.dat) from the 

Root 

Directory

.   

3.

 

Record the debug information into Log Files (

LOGFILES

). 

 
The card is inserted by pushing in the card until it clicks into place. To 

remove the card, push the card in once again and the socket will eject the card. 
Then simply remove it the rest of the way.  Any MMC or SD Card can be used as 
long as it is formatted to FAT32 file format. 

 

 

FIRMWARE UPGRADE

 

1.

     

The FREEDOM SD2 Controller’s firmware can be upgraded by 

simply copying the latest firmware upgrade 

into

 the Root Directory of 

the SD memory card using a computer capable of utilizing SD 
Memory Cards.  Be sure to copy the file into the SD card "root 
directory" and not into a subdirectory or folder.  You can find the 
latest firmware upgrade for the controller on our web site at:   
www.motosat.com.  

2.

     

Power OFF the controller then insert the SD memory card into the 

card slot the front of the FREEDOM.

 

3.

     

Power ON the FREEDOM.  The FREEDOM SD2 Controller will 

detect the upgrade and automatically install the new upgrade code.  
New software upgrades will cause the LED’s on the front panel to 
blink.

 

During the upgrade process the FIND led will blink in rapid succession indicating 
that programming is taking place.  

DO NOT remove the SD memory card from 

the Controller until this process is complete.   

If no upgrade is detected or the 

upgrade is an older version than what is already installed in the controller, 
an upgrade will not take place.  

NOTE:

  The controller will not permit installing 

previous numbered (older) upgrades.  It will only recognize upgrades with a higher 
number than the last one stored.

 

           

After a FIRMWARE UPGRADE has completed, the system MUST be powered 
OFF then powered ON to store new upgrade.
