Firmware update on cRIO pn c module

I am looking to update the firmware in a Comsoft Profinet cRIO c series module. The data length is not outputting the configured data length. The module is in the 4th slot in a cRIO 9076 unit. The module is working but updates the data very slowly. I have attached a picture from the getting started manual showing the parameter and the note about the parameter.

MrSinatra,
I think it is very well possible that the drivers on your cd do not recognize the updated x-fi anymore. the cd is probably useless now.
a screenshot of this firmware update will most likely not be possible because you cannot repeat it! since you cannot downgrade the firmware, the update routine won't run again the next time even if you run the same driver update again.
let them call you a stupid idiot. it doesnt matter. you have seen it, i have seen it, others have seen it. so we know it happens, right?
as to what this cthelper.exe actually is, i have also wondered already. i also have read Soundcard sams comment as well and checked and i also do not see it anymore in vista. it seems to be gone. I have googled a little but it looks like nobody really knows what it does. its probably just not necessary anymore with the new drivers i suppose.
Just check your startup reg and disable it. see if it makes any difference. maybe u don't need it anymore either. maybe its just the old registry entry that didn't get deleted and still calls it at startup? just try. I can still see it being acti've in my Windows XP Sp3 installation (32bit) though. Seems like its just not acti've in vista anymore. just toy around with it a little. you'll notice if it breaks something if you mess it up ;-)
Oh and btw: there is another tool running now, its called Ctxfihlp.exe and it might just be a replacement of the old one...

HT1237 Searching for an EFI Firmware update to enable Lion Internet Recovery on MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)

Hi All,
My Mid-2010 Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch started having random kernel panics lately (more than 1 month of random kernel panics now), usually associated with request such as "open new tab in Safari" etc.
Since I installed 2x4GB RAM modules from Crucial when I bought my MBP (they are +- 2 years old now) and also exchanged my DVD-drive for an extra SSD that now runs the system (fully updated 10.7.4) I have a feeling that those kernel panics might be HW related.
I wanted to run Apple Hardware Test but found out that it is no longer supported on Lion. Since I don't have any optical drive to install AHT from (also I don't have the CDs with me atm), I found out that I can install an EFI Firmware update that enables internet-based (?) AHT.
At http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904# , the link from MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) links to MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.6 which is for Early 2010 models only and doesn't allow me to run the installation process. I'm looking for an EFI update to enable Apple Hardware Test on my Mid-2010 Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch.
Is there an update that can do this? Is there a wrong hyperlink on Apple page or am I searching for a wrong update?
Also, even though this should probably be in a separate topic, can anyone please point me to the right direction for a good Apple Kernel Panic how-to-read-those topic?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hey Cris from London,
I would try out the recommended steps in the following link:

Firmware Update 4.2.8 Fails on PowerMac G4

Hello,
Concerning a Powermac G4 running 9.2.2 & attempting to upgrade to 10.3 (which requires the firmware update):
Removed all attachments except mouse, monitor and keyboard.
Ran firmware update 4.2.8 (for 2 x 450 mHz PPC AGP Graphics Powermac G4).
Restarted with "programmer's button" held in.
Tone sounded; Mac starts to boot into the update.
The folder flashes a question mark for a second, then looks like it has engaged (the screen goes blank for a second as if it were beginning to boot as usual).
The flashing question mark then appears again and remains on-screen indefinitely, requiring a manual restart with "option" key to boot into 9.2.2, at which point a message appears saying that the firmware update has not been installed.
In other words, whatever the firmware's trying to do, it isn't doing because (so it appears) it can't find the system folder.
I MUST install OS 10.3 IMMEDIATELY.
PLEASE HELP ASAP

Hi, amacproblem -
...what else would it have been set to?
It could have been set to a CD; or Network Disk (some OS 9.2..x installs leave it set to that for some reason); or nothing.
Although that firmware update has not been reported as checking for incompatible RAM before updating the firmware, it is possible that could be an issue. To check for that, download and run DIMM First Aid - it's a small program and takes just a few seconds to perform some basic checks on RAM; it can also repair some sub-spec RAM modules so that they are in compliance.

D-Link DBT-120 USB adapter needs new firmware update from Apple

I purchased a new DBT-120 USB/Bluetooth adapter for use with my iBook (Clamshell). unfortunately, it's not allowing connections to headsets as I intended.
I have a DBT-120 B1 at home which works fine with my headset but that adapter worked only after updating the firmware with Apple's updater.
unfortunately, the firmware updater will not recognise my new DBT-120 which is a C1.
Apple, please update the firmware updater for the new C1... soon!
has anyone else written a firmware updater for the DBT-120 adapters so that headsets can be used with OS X?
regards,
Gregory

I have the same problem w/ my DBT-120 v. C1
I tried installing bluetooth firmware 1.2 and Bluetooth Firmware Updater gives me the error:
"This Bluetooth device is not supported
This computer does not have an Apple Bluetooth module installed. It cannot be updated by this application."
I also tried installing version 1.2.1 but during installation that gave me the error: "This update is not needed on this computer."
I have an iMac Intel Core 1 Duo 17" that will hopefully support the headset when it finishes charging, but I would like to be able to use it on the go too.

Just yesterday I managed to rescue (on the last ditch attempt) a strawberry iMac DV (400MHz) that had exactly this problem. I read through the documentation suggested on this thread and discovered that it had moved all the way through to the 'Stage 4' issue; it would automatically power down about 6-7 seconds after the welcome chime. Before reading the docs I'd zapped the PRAM and removed the battery multiple times thinking I was doing the right thing, so it was well and truly stuck.
Luckily, before it died I had updated to OS 9.1 and run the firmware update, but of course you need to reboot for the update to actually be written to the chip. I'd actually given up and put it on the recycle pile, only to find myself with a spare half hour in the afternoon. This is exactly what I did to get it back to life. Note that the battery had been out for a couple of hours prior to trying this.
1. Put on desk, upside down with all panels open, not connected to anything.
2. Remove everything (which in this machine was just RAM - battery was already out and it had no Airport card).
3. Put battery back in. Very old battery, so no idea if it had much charge.
4. Pressed internal PRAM reset button once, briefly (no more than 1 second).
5. Waited for about 20 seconds.
6. Put a 256MB card into slot J13 that I had just pilfered from an old PC. It previously had in it two 64MB cards.
7. Plugged into a monitor, then the mains and turned power on.
8. Waited for about 20 seconds.
9. Pushed in the programmers button and held it down while tapping the power button.
10. Released programmers button when the evil beep sound happened.
I was then very surprised that it not only stayed running, but actually started the firmware update! I guess I was very lucky in that I'd managed to run the firmware application in OS 9.1 before the machine got stuck, otherwise you'd need to boot into Mac OS, run the app and then reboot a second time to get it to apply the update.
Best of luck - this iMac DV is now off to a new home instead of the bin. I was pleasantly surprised with how well it copes with OS X 10.4.11.

Hello,
I downloaded the newest version of the bluetooth firmware updater to be able to use my headset "nxzen" for skype with me powerbook. I was able to pair the device, but when I change it in "sounds" it is not working.
I was told to update the firmware. And when I want to run it out of utilities, it tells shows this failiure message "This computer does not have an Apple Bluetooth module installed. It cannot be updated by this application."
Any suggestions? Funny enough, that I can sent pics from and to my V3 easily...
Please, help....!!!! This is simply driving me nuts!!!!

USB-9171 installs as USB Flash Firmware Updater

I have just received a USB-9171 with 9401 module. Trying to install it on a WIndows 7 64 bit Dell Vostro laptop. Already installed is Labview 8.5.1 which has been working fine with a USB-6212 for some time. I installed the NI-DAQmx 9.6 which came with the new 9171, and the Labview 2012 Run-Time as recommended by the update manager. On plugging in the USB-6212 it loaded the driver, recognized it in MAX and operates correctly as before. But on plugging in the USB-9171, the driver loaded by Windows identifies it as USB Flash Firmware Updater. The 9171 does not show up in MAX.
How can I get the proper USB-9171 driver to load?
Thanks - Steve
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is the original poster again. Just wanted to add additional experience I had with this problem.
After getting the original 9171/9401 to be recognized as described above, I added three new 9171/9401 modules to the system several months later and encountered the original problem again. This time the original 9171/9401 would always be recognized, but the three new ones would not. I upgraded my LV from version 8.5.1 (uninstalling this version) to LV version 2012. Upgraded the DAQ from 9.6 to 9.7. There is a newer version of the MAX configuration utility that was not compatible with LV 8.5, so I needed to upgrade LV AND remove the 8.5 version to get the newer configuration utility to install.
I followed my previous procedure of wiping the configuration and then plugging in the USB modules one at a time. As WillPwr found, I needed to have patience because it didn't happen right away. Even with the configuration wiped, it would recognize the old module right away but not the new ones. This suggests that there is some record of module serial numbers retained even after a configuration reset. But eventually it did recognize them all.

Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 keeps installing

Hello,
Just last week I noticed that the top layer of plastic by the mouse pad was cracking on my MacBook. I took my MacBook into the Apple Store and they replaced the keyboard, mouse pad, and plastic (I'm assuming it is all one module?).
Well, everything has been working out great, but Software Update keeps telling me about this Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0. I install it, Software Update says it was installed successfully, and then the next day Software Update says it needs to be installed again. This has been going on for a week now. Does anybody have any idea what is going on? Is this something I can resolve myself or should I bring it back into the Apple Store?

I wish I knew! We have a similar situation with our macbook here at work. When software update opens, I am told about this keyboard firmware update which we should install. I download the software and follow the instructions to install it - midway through, the software fails to install and I get an error message. It's very annoying!
I'm going to post separately about this problem rather than spamming your thread, but I hope one of us will get an answer!

Did the keyboard firmware update today and now no bluetooth. Using spotlight to search for bluetooth, I get this message:

The bluetooth keyboard was working fine before the firmware update was installed.

Will the Creative Zen Xtra have a firmware update for "driverless" operati

Is it even possible? I contacted Creative Labs and they said they would put the suggestion on the possibility for a future implemented feature. I just bought the 30GB model for $79 off of Outpost.com [the cheapest I've seen online] without any rebates. It is awesome--sound quality, menu, and design. It is a bit large, but I don't care. This is my first mp3 player that actually has a hard dri've. I've wanted to get this one since last January, but kept putting it off.
Anyway, is it possible for a firmware update for a driverless operation so you can add songs on any Windows XP/2000 PC without having to install the Nomad Explorer program? Thanks!

Driverless support is supposedly coming for Windows Media Player 0.
The reasons behind all this are discussed in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...Jukebox+Zen#34

Firmware update 9.1.4 and memory

Before installing OS 10.2 or 10.3, I installed firmware update 4.1.9 as required by Apple. This caused my iMac to no longer recognize the (non-Apple) 128 Mb memory module installed about 8 years ago. The Apple System Profiler now lists this memory as "incompatible", leaving me with only 64 Mb of factory installed memory.
If I replace the 128 Mb with new memory, do you think it will be compatible? Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thanks!

Thanks for the good advice. Memory vendors hesitate to say if their generic memory will work. One mentioned memory from Samsung or Micron as good possibilities, though they cost twice as much as generic. Have you any info on specific brands of memory that are likely to work? I would hate to buy memory and have to return it, or worse yet, find nothing that is "compatible". Thanks again!

2010 Mac Pro Crash and Firmware Update Issue

My 2010 Mac Pro crashes for no apparent reason. I have a couple FCP projects to finish and I cannot rely on this machine. I have the most recent problem report details and a pesky Firmware update that appears corrupted and refuses to install.
I've repaired permissions using Disk utility, applejack, and even used memtest to check that I didn't have a bad RAM module. All tasks ran successfully.
These may be 2 separate problems. I'm not sure at this point.
I'm using only 1/3 of the drive capacity for the OS drive and about on my Final Cut Media drive.
FCP is compatible. Been using it for nearly a year. Using a third drive for a Time Machine Back-up of all FCP media. The firmware update is specifically for the 2010 Mac Pro - Mac Pro EFI Update 1.5

OK, thanks.
So I restored the original firmware, and I got through the update.
Here is what the update instructions should say:
"Once the flashing starts continue holding until the light is steady again."
I thnk my problem was that I released the button too soon.

Firmware Update Problems

I was trying to use the Migration Assistant on my new Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro to move data from my old reliable G4 AGP Power Mac. The Firewire connection couldn't be made and the MA suggested I needed to update the firmware on the G4. I accordingly downloaded firmware update 4.2.8, re-booted the G4 into OS 9.2.1, and started to use the shutdown-programmer-switch-power-on routine in the documentation. This didn't work: the G4 put me into programmer's mode and I re-booted the machine and started over. That's when the trouble started.
I re-booted into OS 9.2.1 and started the firmware update again. This time the tone sounded, the progress bar appeared, and all appeared well for the moment. However, when the progress bar disappeared, I didn't get the message I was supposed to get about the firmware being updated. Instead, the machine suddenly gave the tone again twice and the power button blinked orange twice. Then it did the same thing again.
Now the G4 is completely unresponsive. I tried a restart and then a cold boot (power disconnected, re-boot). Nothing works. The start tone sounds, as usual, and the hard disk starts to spin, but then stops. I tried to re-boot from the CD drive using the OSX 10.4.8 install disk that came with the Macbook Pro, but there was no response at all, after the initial startup tone and an initial click or two from the hard disk. The CD drive never started to spin. I'm at a loss as to what to do next, but I'm going to try the OSX 10.3 install disk next. If I can't get any response to the drives, however, I'm not sure that will do any good.
I called Apple, but they no longer support my G4. Their suggestion was to try to retrieve the data from the hard disk. I'm hoping someone here has a better alternative than that; I was planning to use the G4 for other work. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi, Tracy -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
...the machine suddenly gave the tone again twice and the power button blinked orange twice.
That may be the clue. According to Apple KBase Article #58442 - Power On Self-Test Pt. 2 that would indicate there is no usable RAM available.
Unfortunately, several years ago some 3rd-party manufacturers of RAM sold a number of modules which did not quite meet Apple's design specs, but which were good enough to pass the startup self-test criteria at the time.
One of the things that the 4.2.8 firmware update does is to tighten down on the requirement that RAM modules must meet the original design criteria (I understand this was done in consideration of the pickiness of OSX about RAM quality and performance). Many of the sub-spec modules won't meet that requirement - having the startup test, they are locked out at startup. If all the RAM modules are of that type. there is no RAM left with which to boot the machine.
If you have any of the original RAM modules that came with that machine (from Apple, not from a 3rd-party reseller), try putting that module in it and booting to OS 9. You may need to borrow a good module from a friend.
Once you get it booted to OS 9, download and run DIMM First Aid - this utility can perform some basic tests on RAM modules, but more importantly it can often repair the coding on many sub-spec modules that used to work prior to the 4.2.8 firmware update, thus recovering them. Swap out modules as necessary (shutting down between each swap) until all are repaired that can be.

Good to hear! I removed and re-installed synaptics drivers, but this doesn't help. You can't install that firmware update without drivers being installed on your system. Someone could try installing older synaptics drivers and then the firmware update. I don't have energy to do that.
This really sucks.

D-Link and Bluetooth Firmware update

I am running 10.4.6 on a dual 2.7GHz G5. I have no built in Bluetooth so rely on a D-Link DBT-120 (rev4). I have tried three times unsuccessfully to apply the 1.2 BluetoothFWUpdate to allow use of the bluetooth keyboard in single user mode.
The updater looks for a device, prepares to update, the candy bars in the progress bar twirl, then again it looks for a device to update, prepares to update, the candy bars in the progress bar twirl and then nothing for a very long time. 2 hours last time. When I try to quit, I'm told the device has not been updated.
Profiler tells me
Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 1.7.3f4
Hardware Settings:
Address: 00-11-95-0e-17-2d
Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio
Firmware Version: 1.525 (1.525)
Has anybody had the same problem and if so, how did you overcome it?
Thanks.

Hi, Allan, AZTrailBlazer, and gordon —
Sorry to hear that you've joined the company of many who've experienced this frustration. But glad to hear that you succeeded, gordon.
You're correct, Allan: the firmware version reported for your Mac needs updating. For your configuration, expect to see 2.xxxx or 3.xxxx after the updater has run successfully. Your software version reflects the most up-to-date (updated via the OS X 10.4.6 Combo updater).
Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2 [11/23/04] is the correct package. It is compatible with all versions of Mac OS X subsequent to OS X 10.3.6 — for PPC Macs with Bluetooth chips (internal or in an adapter) that preceded the new Bluetooth 2.0+EDR specification. (There's another version available for folks running 10.3.6.) Also, as the brief description notes, "The Bluetooth Firmware Updater is for D-Link USB Adapters (revision B2 or later), and Apple internal Bluetooth modules on PowerBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, iBooks, and eMacs."
AZTrailBlazer, I believe that what you're recalling — "It seems that Apple has removed a page with the 10.4.3 version of the firware updater, but information on this topic for Tiger users is scarce" —— was related to a version of this updater that was made available last Winter via Software Update. Imho, firmware updates of any kind are best applied from their "stand-alone" download version — because their installation may require following special instructions. That's the case here — and the instructions have proven confusing for many people. (Please send feedback if you agree.)
I have worked with a lot of folks in this forum to help figure out how they can apply this firmware update effectively — so I'll cite a few threads that I hope will help you, too. Here is a recent example. ( A ) and ( B ) are examples where several participants provided feedback after succeeding. ( C ) is a recent case involving a D-Link DBT-120 adapter in which jump (the individual posting) explained some fine points that s/he thought might be helpful to others.
If you do a search — e.g., for [ +("D-Link" OR "DBT-120") +firmware +(update OR updater) ] in the Other Bluetooth Devices forum with results restricted to Alexander Traud — you'll find numerous cases where he has explained this for DBT-120 adapter users who want to utilize a Bluetooth headsets and other BLuetooth-enabled devices. Alexander's post here explains a "tricky" way to confirm whether the updater has been successful.
Warm regards,
Dean
