Advice needed on PCI Flexmotion-6C firmware upgrade

Hi !
We have a CNC machine that used to run an old software on WIndows 95. This software controls a PCI FlexMotion 6C and the card drives the machine. We had hard time making the system stable with windows 95 so we decided to move to windows 2000.
Everything work as expected with the new 5.11 drivers EXCEPT for speed. The machine is running at around 50% of the original config on windows 95. We do have 3 "packet lenght" errors when we start the cutting software. I tried to change the "velocity" value in Trajectory setting for both axis 1 and axis 2 but MAX software gives me an error about firmware being too old.
Should I do the firmware upgrade ? Is it a safe procedure to do ? Could it help me resolve the "packetlenght" errors a t software startup by having a firmware that fits withthe newest drivers ?
I just don't want to screw up the card and stop production, we have no access to the source code and to the programmer of the software...
Thanks for your advices
Francis

Francis,
the driver software for NI motion control boards consists always of two parts: The driver for the host and the firmware on the board. If you upgrade the driver it's strongly recommended to upgrade the firmware, too, because this is the constellation that was thoroughly tested at NI. Upgrading the firmware is a safe process as long as you don't interrupt the power during the download process (which takes less than 1 minute).
Kind regards,
Jochen

  • Advice needed on firmware update-

    Hi everyone… I have successfully replaced the HD on my kid’s imac G3 [yay!] but the [secondhand] disk is running a very old version of OS X [10.0.4, I think…]. Can anyone let me know if I need to carry out any firmware updates before installing Tiger? I’d be so grateful for your advice… many thanks!

    Hello,
    If you need firmware updates, then you'll have to re-install OS 9.1 (or 8.x or whatever version came with your system) to install the updates.
    You cannot update the firmware from OS X on the older iMac G3 systems.
    If you already have the latest firmware revision, then you may not need to worry about re-installing OS 9 to install the firmware updates at all.
    Take a look at this discussion here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2707137&#2707137
    That discussion will show you how to check the version of Firmware that you currently have.
    This will help to determine if you already do have the latest version installed.
    Keep in mind that the firmware revisions shown in this discussion relate to the iMac G3 333 MHz system.
    If you have an iMac G3 350 MHz or faster (the ones with the slot-loading CD-ROM Drive), then your firmware revision numbers should be 4.19.
    The firmware version / update for the slot-loading CD-ROM drive machines is here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75130
    For the older iMac 333 MHz or other iMacs with a tray-loading CD-ROM Drive, the update you would need is here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60384
    Note, that you will need to re-install which-ever version of Mac OS that came with your computer to install these firmware updates.
    But, if you find that you already have the latest firmware version for your computer, then you can skip re-installing OS 9 (or whatever came with your system) all-together.
    If you cannot make sense out of the numbers you find when comparing them to the update, let me know what the numbers are that you find, and I'll see if I can help you out.
    If you do re-install OS 9 or OS 8.6 (whichever is needed for your system's updates), then also consider getting the other updates for your system while you are at it:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58174
    You'll find updates for your modem, and CD-ROM drive there.
    I hope this helps.

  • Need Firmware upgrade for Mat_s_h_i_t_a UJ-850

    I Need help. My DVD writer Mat_s_h_i_t_a UJ-850 has problems in writing dual layer dvds. I cannot complete the recording, it always fails. I looked for a firmware upgrade for this recorder, but I did not find anything. Does anybody know where to find a firmware upgrade for this dvd writer?
    Thank you!
    Message Edited by actihippo on 01-22-2009 10:08 PM

    It would help if you provide the firmware version currently on your DVD writer. Anyways, here is a link for firmware version 1.01.

  • A prayer to Nokia: We all need a firmware upgrade ...

    Are there any Nokia engineers out there???
    I think we all need a firmware upgrade ASAP!
    As everyone else mentions the N95 is rebooting several times a day, causing irritation and not least extra battery consumption... Not to mention that it does this during calls half of the times.
    The other issue is that nobody hears me when I make or take a call. You can of course switch it on speaker and back, but it is not "working as designed" as I see it!
    So NOKIA, wake up, smell the coffee and fix these BUGS!
    (and the rest of them...)
    Thanks...
    \jrbit\

    I know,
    Just needed to get off some steem and see if any other users out there also will pitch in and applaud my prayers.
    So, any users that have the same issues and will join me in this prayer?
    It must be a common demand out there and not just me. No harm in "pushing" Nokia a bit on this issue (I hope)
    Anyone?
    Amen...
    PS! Arranged a DOA on my first N95, but realised that this is bugs and not just a "monday model" that I got...

  • Need help on IBM ServeRaid 5i BIOS/Firmware upgrade

    Hi,
    We just upgraded the Cisco Call manager on IBM xSeries 345 MT-8670-M1X server with Cisco patch WIN-OS-Upgrade-K9.2000-4-2sr6.exe. After upgrade we got this error message about IBMC ServeRaid 5i controller card.
    "Version mismatch detected: controller 1. The BIOS (version 6.10.24), Firmware (version 6.10.24), and Driver (version 7.10.18) are not a matched set and are not compatible."
    We download the BIOS/firmware upgrade Disk from this web site.
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62462
    During the upgrade, the server continues ask insert disk1.
    Also this site does not have the latest device drive for IBM ServeRaid 5i in windows 2000 server.
    I need some help and you will get my highest vote
    1. Where can I get the proper BIOS/Firmware upgrade disk from Cisco?
    2. During the upgrade stage, why the server always ask “insert disk 1”. I have tried all 5 disks. But none of the work. I disconnect the mirri during the upgrade. Does it affect the upgrade?
    3. Where can I get the latest device driver for 5i work with windows 2000 server?
    Many thank
    Kevin

  • New Firmware Upgrade Not Needed

    I tried to download and install the firmware upgrade posted today (v1.4), which is supposed to take my BootROM to MBP31.0070.B03 (it is currently identified as MBP31.0070.B02 in System Profiler). However, when I run the updater, it tells me I don't need the update.
    Any thoughts?

    The santa rosa chipsets (2.2s and 2.4s) may not need the firmware ?upgrade. If my 2.4 had needed the upgrade, it would have shown up in Software Update, and it did not.
    I don't mind this at all. Firmware upgrades could be problematic and I love to avoid them where possible. All of the iLife and iWork upgrades came up on software update for me and installed and are working fine.

    This is part of the message since you cannot post such a long message in posting.
    This should show how lost you might be with your warranty. If you install the Firmware Upgrade .8.02 your player might be useless. There is no way to make it work again. Not really. If you understand what Creative seems not to do. So dear user - buy a new player. If you want to know what the solution is to make your player work again post here. If there are enough postings I will explain it here. Too sad that Creative does not do it. It is their job not mine... But again - I am not talking about a problem what is nice to have it solved. I am talking about a player that does not work anymore. If you do not want to wait for my solution just send your player for repair - it was not your fault that it does not work anymore...
    This story with the great support was a test of Creative and will be used in a review. So be not surprised to find it somewhere else.
    Here the Creative support story. The first mail is at the bottom. I had to make part and part 2 since you cannot post such a long message here.

I just wanted to test the support at Creative. The problem is real and forces owners of your players to buy a new one since their playes get useless after the upgrade. Not only that Creative puts a faulty upgrade on their homepage - their support is good for nothing. But this was a test of the Creative support. I hardly can believe that Creative is not in the position to solve a very simple problem caused by Creative - what has severe consequences for their customers. But this mail story confirms exactly this. So my advice to any customers - stay away from this company and their products - what is the final result of my test. If you want to know the solution for the problem please contact me again - I am glad to help such a poor company :-)))) For free? I am not so sure...since my player was not for free too...Best Regards,PeterPS: The product is still within the "police period" of my dealer. And I did not just buy the product.

  • Avoiding Firmware Upgrade Grief

    Assuming that you have a non-UDP (User Data Preservation) phone, like the N95, a firmware upgrade can be a major thrash. Many posts in this forum attest to these problems, but they continue to occur, in part because of inadequate instructions.
    Here are some thoughts that might be helpful:
    1) FIRST: Ask yourself "WHY am I doing this?" If your aren't looking for any specific fix that you KNOW the firmware upgrade will address, then at least admit that you are possibly doing it "just because it's there." For those of us who have no other Everest in sight, that might be sufficient reason. But, it is a violation of the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" maxim. I know you know.
    2) SECOND: If you are still going to do this, make the appropriate backups. Plural. In spite of the rather glib advice on the firmware upgrade screen, backups to your Memory Card are NOT/NOT equivalent to those made with Nokia PC Suite. I'll explain why in a bit. Sure, go ahead and do both, but the Nokia PC Suite backup is the (only) one that will be likely to get you out of the woods. And that, only partially.
    a. Backups to a Memory Card give you NO CONTROL over what is backed up OR restored. It's all or nothing, and sometimes what's included in "All" is just enough to trash your newly-updated phone.
    b. Backups with Nokia PC Suite allow YOU to CHOOSE both what you want to backup and restore. So, backup everything if you like, but realize that you NOT successfully restore a highly customized system in one fell swoop after a firmware upgrade. But you CAN get back the essentials (if you have made the backups). By "essentials," I mean user-created data that you could not recreate easily or at all (contacts, messages, etc.). I do NOT mean specific applications, which you should be able to reinstall separately.
    c. What about all of those Nokia Maps locations? Go to your Landmarks application, select every one you might ever want to see again, and then SEND them to another compatible Nokia phone via Infrared. Save them all on the second phone (you can reverse the process to get them back on your main phone). Wait: You are thinking about a firmware upgrade and have no comparably functional backup phone? Please reread item 1) above
    d. Did you have to do any MANUAL configuration of Packet Data Access Points? I did before I could get my N95 to work as a modem for other devices. Write those details down somewhere. You'll need them. Same for WPA encryption keys and SSIDs. Consider putting this info in the fields of one of your contacts, so you can later use cut/paste to enter your encryption keys for your APs.
    e. Make a list of every purchased application you have currently installed, even if you don't intend on using them again. Make sure you have product registration codes available. You'll need them.
    Attempts to do an overly-comprehensive restore after firmware upgrade can cause serious problems such as loss of both 3G and WiFi data connectivity. That should be enough to get anyone's attention. It got mine after the fact! If you make careful, incremental backups of crucial information and are willing to be patient, you can eventually get your system back the way you want it.
    3) BACKUPS all done? Too bad Nokia provides no verification process outside of the PC Suite log, but it usually works well-enough without it.
    4) UPGRADE your firmware. Follow all of the advice and cautions but don't believe the part about a backup to your SD card being remotely adequate. It might be, but most likely only if you have very little customization and no or few third-party apps.
    5) NEXT: Get your basic settings (time, date, etc) right.
    6) THEN: Connect to PC Suite and RESTORE only your Contacts and Text Messages. Confirm that all restored.
    7) NOW: Insert your SD card and IMMEDIATELY set your own PW for the card (if you had previously removed it). If you had applications on the SD card, some might work, others won't, and you'll probably get an "Installing" message followed by an error message to the effect that the applications could not be installed. Ignore the message to try to restore them yourself from the card. Don't (usually) bother to try to remove them, either, as that often doesn't work.
    8) THEN: Recreate your WiFi connections and (if your provider-issued APs aren't right) your Packet Data APs. Make sure they work. Test by using your browser. No point trying to install products which require working data connections as part of the install process (e.g., gMail, Truphone) before confirming that such connections are available.
    9) ALMOST DONE: Start reinstalling all of your prior applications. I suggest (if you have the choice) that you put them where they were before (SD Card or internal phone memory). If there are any you want to ditch, go back and remove them after first reinstalling them. That tends to get rid of the nagging "Installing" message.
    10) FINALLY: Take it slowly, and set priorities. Put your essential apps on first, and remember that much of your customization probably took place over a period of days, weeks or months. Cumulatively, that might represent hours of tweaking. Re-tweaking will take no less time. Spread some of it out for your own sanity.
    What have I forgotten? Probably plenty, and I'm sure someone else might be able to provide other, equally valid approaches, or suggestions which complement those offered above.

    Very useful post. However I have to say that all those steps are necessary even if you have a FP2 phone with UDP. From my experience all that UDP does is to screw up your phone even more after a firmware upgrade. It's always better to start with a clean slate anyway

  • Zen Micro Firmware Upgrade 1.01.03: Problems when Downloading and Installing the Upgr

    Yesterday I downloaded the new firmware upgrade .0.03 to my computer without problems. I then attempted to open the upgrade and initiate transfer to my Zen Micro unit through my USB 2.0 cable. I kept getting a dialog box, informing me that there was an interference problem... So I shut down my Norton anti-virus and my Zone Alarm firewall, and tried again, and again, and again. I was unable to initiate the transfer program...
    I was about to contact you this evening for advice, but I decided to first switch my USB cable to another connector and try one more time. Surprise! It worked... A rather long connection, but the upgrade is now in my Zen Micro unit, just where it's needed...
    I've had my USB cable connected to what I believe is a USB 2.0 connection on my computer, and I often see the "not connected" dialog box. Each time this happens, I disconnect the cable from the Zen Micro unit, then reconnect it... Bells and whisltes sound, and I'm connected again, until a few minutes later I get the "not connected" dialog box yet again... Is this a normal procedure?
    Now, tonight I plugged the USB cable into what I've always considered to be a slower USB connection point... Mybe that's why the transfer took so long? But it stays connected indefinitely... no "not connected" dialog box.
    I've been having other transfer problems through the USB 2.00 connection point. I downloaded 23 tracks to my Zen Micro yesterday afternoon, and three of the tracks didn't make it... Frustrating as hell...
    I'd appreciate any comments from my peers, since everyone here has more experience than me...

    koochiching,
    Try turning off the Media Sniffer feature from MediaSource and try updating the firmware again.

  • No firmware upgrade for Nokia 5800 in India

    I havn't received any Message regarding the firmware upgrade fr Nokia 5800 XM phone. Even i have visted www.nokia.co.in, no info has been found yet.
    Kindly advice 

    updating to new firmware depends on product code which represents your region of purchasing, language pack and if it's branded or not .... so NOKIA releases firmwares and release it for every product code depending on mentioned points
    you can check for updates @ :
    http://mea.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
    To find what the latest available device software is, you’ll need your device’s product code. The code is printed on the white label beneath the battery (e.g. CODE: 0520001).
    if your phone is branded with an operator, that means that you should go to the operator care center and ask them, not NOKIA
    some updates delay in some countries variant product code, as it requires more effort to add language pack to it like "example. China Japan Korea" or it needs the country to approve it due to its policy

  • Driver help with adapter firmware upgrade

    I'm trying to upgarde the firmware for my Netgear WG511T adapter. After
    uninstalling the current firmware, the Netgear firmware upgrade
    installation requests the infamous 'Novell Netware DOS driver disk' -
    first thing it wants is "lsl.com" (not sure if I will need others).
    I've pointed the installer to the likely folders and searched the hard
    drive for the file, but no success.
    I have found a couple of Novell drivers files at:
    1) http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13555.html
    reportedly useful for my situation
    and
    2) http://download.novell.com/SummaryFr...d=SUeAaKqKpQA~
    the latest (& last?) Novell Client v3.4 for Windows* 95/98
    My question is - Am I on the right track ? - thing is, probably
    obviously, that I (think?) I know just enough to be dangerous.
    I thought it would be a good idea to ask how I should proceed here, in
    this forum, after searching for help with this situation and only
    finding clues, as opposed to a clear solution.
    Thank you,

    Alright - just in case this comes-up in someone's search for advice on
    the same problem.
    Turns-out I did not really need any drivers - I saw a comment to that
    effect on another site in my search for tips.
    Anyway - anyone with the same problem should just 'cancel' the search
    for drivers and continue the installation of the firmware - mine
    installed after I cancelled the search for 'lsl.com'
    I now have my first wireless network running - and with WPA encryption
    - and it is working !

  • Wrvs4400n not stable after firmware upgrade help!!

    Hi,
    I need some help.
    System:
    WRVS4400N wireless router
    Firmware 1.1.03
    IPS:  1.31
    I went through LinkSys site and downloaded the new firmware and ips signature listed above.  I upgraded my system a few days ago and having alot of problems with disconnection through the router.  I would have to reset my wireless router every so often since the firmware upgrade.  Most of the time, it would take one tries but sometime i would have to unplug and plug the router's power cable many times before having internet access.  My previous firmware version i believe is 1.0.06 and it was working fine except that my MAC OS X wasn't able to connect via wireless connection.  That's why i decided to proceed with the firmware upgrade.  Now, the new firmware is giving me a whole new problem and unfortunely i forgot to back up my previous system's config (firmware).
    I am sure this problem is not caused by my IPS or the modem because when the connections get dropped, i was able to connect directly through the modem.  I am not sure if others are experiencing the same problem, but at this point, i think this is some bug on the new firmware.  Please i need some solution to this.  Any advice or suggestions?
    Thanks

    There is a Recovery program for recovering from the latest firmware "upgrade" that borks the router. The latest "firmware "upgrade" completely trashed my router. I could not even connect to it from its internal IP (192.168.1.1) to attempt to downgrade the firmware. Nice of Linksys to allow people to go through an upgrade that trashes their router. Then to make matters worse, the Receovery program only works in windoze, so I had to find a windoze machine to use to downgrade the firmware. What happens if you run Linux - out of luck. Long story short, why not have some kind of warning on the firmware upgrade that unless you first do the recovery firmware flash, you can kiss you router goodbye for the time being.

  • T2000 Firmware upgrade, factory default and RAID controller

    1.
    I got this during a "boot net".
    equesting Internet Address for 0:14:4f:f:3c:3e
    ERROR: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0,2/LSILogic,sas@2: Last Trap: Fast
    Instruction Access MMU Miss
    [Exception handlers interrupted, please file a bug]
    [type 'resume' to attempt a normal recovery]
    2.
    I noticed that there was a withdrawn firmware upgrade 123482-01 is there going to be an -02?
    with factory defaults set
    ok > set-defaults
    boot disk
    doesn't work
    3. How does the built-in RAID controller affect finding the boot block?

    1 Please contact hardware support.
    2 Here is a quote from the readme file for patch 123482-01
    ...not planning a Solaris upgrade or re-install, then there is no immediate need to downgrade your Sun System Firmware. You can wait for a scheduled maintenance cycle...
    This statement is self explanatory, the firmware patches have an upgrade cycle.
    3 Can you explain more about your issues? There are steps to be taken after initially creating a volume with raidctl so Solaris can use them, it is covered in a system Spectrum InfoDoc, did you login to Sunsolve?

  • Zen Nano Plus - Connection Problems and Firmware Upgrade probl

    Like many others posting on this forum, for a while I had problems trying to get my GB Zen Nano Plus to be recognized by the .0.03 Firmware Update software.
    I eventually got it by doing this:
    While the Firmware Update software was "Searching" for a device, I kept on unplugging and plugging in the Zen Nano Plus from the USB cable while holding down the Play button, unti it "caught". I tried this since I noticed it would initially see the unit saying "A device has been detected in recovery mode...", but then throw the unit into "non-recovery" mode and hence force the Firmware Update software to keep on searching.
    Anyhoo, after it did finally "catch" it (after about 0 times unplugging/plugging while holding the Play button down), it showed my firmware as .03.02, and so I did the upgrade to .0.03. The upgrade said "Complete". I then take the unit off of USB, and put my battery back in. and. uhm. well. Now it won't turn on at all. *sigh*
    So there I go again in the "unplug-plug" loop on trying to get the older .03.02. Finally caught after about 30 times (yes my hands are tired). And after downgrading to .03.02, putting the battery back in, the unit turns on fine.. WHEW.
    So, beware to everyone. Not sure if I'd trust the .0.03 Firmware. Doesnt seem to work on my Zen Nano Plus, and I JUST bought the thing from Circuit City about a week ago.
    And for those of you having problems getting the Firmware Upgrade to work.. try my (tiring) method.
    I tried this on my Dell D600 laptop (actually used the USB ports on the docking station).

    With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
    Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
    ->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
    -->PCI Bus
    You should then see a series of USB Host Controllers that you will have to click through in turn to find the one your player is connected to.
    Underneath each controller should be a USB Hub, and then devices are listed beneath the hubs.
    For my N200 I have USB Mass Storage Device, Creative MuVo N200 USB Device then Generic Volume.
    Your entry should be similar but with Zen Nano Plus instead of N200.
    While you're there, right-click on the entry for the hub attached to your player and select Properties. On the Power tab it will show how much current the port can supply and in the Attached Devices list it will show how much power the player needs. In my case the hub supplies 500mA and the player needs 00mA.
