+ | While there are multiple components to the firmware on an OPN-2003 (Bootloader, OS and Application) the instructions to load them individually or all together are the same. You simply choose the appropriate file(s) during the right part in the process. All files available from Opticon are found in the Downloads section of this page. In addition to the individual files there are also combination files which are all three components bundled together into a single file for easy installation. It is recommended to use these combination files. As the Bootloader and OS files will always be the same you simply choose the combination file for the application you wish to load. | ||
+ | * Bootloader files are provided by Opticon and always follow the naming convention beginning with RAFV (e.g. RAFV0306.hex). | ||
+ | * OS files are provided by Opticon and always follow a naming convention beginning with RBFV (e.g. RBFV0217.hex). | ||
+ | * Application files are provided by Opticon but could also be provided by a reseller, distributor or developed on ones own by using the freely downloadable SDK (See the downloads section). If provided by Opticon the application files will almost always follow a naming convention beginning with RFF (e.g. RFF35106). | ||
+ | # Download necessary files. | ||
+ | #* Firmware: This would be either the Bootloader, OS, Application or combination file from the Downloads section. | ||
+ | #* Appload: This is the loader program for the PC that installs the firmware file onto the unit. See the download section. | ||
+ | #* USB Drivers: These drivers are necessary so that Windows will provide a COM port that Appload needs to communicate with the device. Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions are found in the downloads section. | ||

You may need to select 'next' a few times and are allowed to choose the install folder and whether Appload places an icon on your desktop. You may simply choose the defaults for all options. Appload will launch at the end of the install process. | ||
