Update Firmware

Figure 6 - 38. Update Firmware

The LARA eco is a complete standalone computer. The software it runs is called the

firmware. The firmware of the LARA eco can be updated remotely in order to install new

functionality or special features.

A new firmware update is a binary file which will be sent to you by email . If the firmware

file is a compressed file with suffix .zip you have to unzip it before you can proceed. In

order to extract the archive you may use WinZip from http://www.winzip.com/ (for

Windows OS) or a tool named unzip that might be already provided in your OS (UNIX,

Linux, OS X).

Before you can start updating the firmware of your LARA eco the new and uncompressed

firmware file has to be accessible on the system that you use for connecting to the LARA

eco.

Updating the firmware is a three-stage process:

• Firstly, the new firmware file is uploaded onto the LARA eco. In order to do that

you need to select the file on your local system using the button “Browse” of the

Upload Firmware panel (see Figure 6-32). Then, click “Upload” to transfer the

previously selected file from your local file system onto the LARA eco. Once the

firmware file has been uploaded, it is checked whether it is a valid firmware file

and whether there were any transmission errors. In case of any error the Upload

Firmware function will be aborted and the current firmware is kept as is.

• Secondly, if everything went well, you see the Update Firmware panel . The panel

shows you the version number of the currently running firmware and the version

number of the uploaded firmware. Pressing the button “Update” will store the new

version and substitute the old one completely.
