Advanced Tools

Together, the processes listed under the Advanced Tools tab, involve the entire update process described above, except for the Flash Remote ID and Upload partition data which are not part of the upgrade process.

In other words, this allows the user to submit the device to only one of the processes that is carried out during the entire update process.

These are detailed below:

File system

By selecting this option, the file memory of the connected device will be prepared for the update process.

Simply, select the unit to be prepared and click Prepare:

Before the process starts, users must save a back up of the current configuration.

Upload files

In this tab, the user can load the updating files to the correponding slots of the connected device.

Note

The available slots in memory are displayed in the drop-down menu under the unit selection drop-down menu.

There are two ways to do this:

  1. Doing it the same way as in the Home tab, i.e. selecting a .update file and letting Veronte Updater internally place each .bin file contained in the .update file into each slot.

    For instance, if slot 0 is selected, one of the .bin files will be placed here and the other in the next slot, slot 1.

  2. Selecting a slot and uploading the first .bin, then selecting the next slot and uploading the second .bin file.

In this example, the first option has been done:

  • First, select the slot to locate the .update file:

    Upload files - Slot selection

  • Secondly, drag the file to the Drag area or click on Select and select it from the local storage:

    Upload files - Loading file

  • Once the .update file is loaded, click on Upload to send the configuracion to the device:

    ../../_images/advanced_tools_upload_files.png

    Upload files - Update loaded

  • The process will start and the following windows will show the progress:

    ../../_images/advanced_tools_upload_files_process.png

    Upload files process

  • When finished, click on Done:

    ../../_images/advanced_tools_upload_files_process_done.png

    Upload files process finished

Flash tool

Finally, this tab will flash the device. That is, the connected device is reset and the files previously loaded into memory (in the slots) will be uploaded to the connected device.

Simply choose the desired unit to be flashed and the slot where the .update file has been located and click Flash:

../../_images/advanced_tools_flash_tool.png

The flashing process is quite quickly, finally click on Done:

Identify SD

Selecting this option will identify the file memory capacity of the connected device.

Simply select the unit to be indentified and click Identify:

../../_images/advanced_tools_identify_sd.png

Identify SD

As the identification process is quite fast, a message with the information about the capacity of the SD card will quickly appear:

Finally click on Done:

Upload partition data

Warning

THIS IS NOT PART OF THE UPGRADE PROCESS.

This action must be performed after the upgrade process has been successfully complete.

Veronte Updater shall require the user to carry out this action in the event that the device’s file memory has no magnetic field and geoid data.

Follow the steps below to upload the needed partition data:

  1. Simply select the desired unit, choose Magnetic field or Geoid and click Upload:

    Note

    The process carried out only uploads the chosen data (Magnetic field or Geoid). Repeat the process for uploading the remaining data.

  2. If the device already has the data to be uploaded, a window will pop up to confirm continuing with the process.

    Upload partition data - Process confirmation

  3. Once confirmed, the uploading process will start and the following window will show the progress.

    Warning

    Writting file step is a long and slow process that can take a few hours.
