3.1.5
Autoexec.bat
Applications to run on start-up on the RA24 are listed in this file. Typically this includes sarc.exe and
ETH1.exe on a runtime system.
For testing hardware it should not include sarc.exe.
For firmware debugging it should also include Probe.exe.
3.1.6
CHIP.INI
This is the BECK system configuration file.
When @CHIPTOOL or RA24 web app is used to configure IP addresses, or select DHCP, this file is
modified automatically.
Other configuration items are included that are desirable for the proper operation of the RA24, so a
default CHIP.INI file is included with the project. Ability to upgrade the operating system or not can be
controlled using this file. Configuration of FTP, or enabling/disabling Telnet or SSH can be controlled
using this file. It is loaded onto A:\ drive using FTP.
3.1.7
HTTP directory
This entire folder and sub-folders is required by the RA24 to support the web browser. If not present
the web browser will give a default BECK screen or be unbrowsable. This folder and contents needs
to be copied from the RA24 release project verbatim. The default web admin password is “RMS”. It is
loaded onto A:\ drive using FTP.
3.1.8
ETH1.exe
An application supplied to support the 2nd Ethernet channel. On the RA24 this is used for the optic
fibre port. It is loaded onto A:\ drive using FTP.
3.1.9
ARC_IO.hex
This Intel hex file is used to program the Arc IO expander peripheral on the relay/psu board.
Programming of this file is done using Atmel JTAG or ISP dongles plugged onto the Jtag or ISP
headers on the Relay PCB. It is not possible to upgrade this processor remotely via the BECK chip
(yet).
3.1.10
SC1x3V0xyy_FULL.hex
This hex file contains version
x.y
of the BECK operating system. As of writing, the latest version is
1.51
. At least this version must be present on the BECK board to properly support RA24 operation.
The upgrade procedure is detailed below. Chips supplied from BECK may not have necessarily have
the most recent operating system version installed. Version
1.20
was seen on BECK chips supplied by
SystemCorp.

•
Ensure there is a CHIP.INI installed that allows upgrades. TFTP must be enabled, which is
disabled by default for security.
•
Right click on target RA24 and select Program Flash image
•
IP address of target device should appear in UDP/IP subsection
