| # R47 Update Guide | ||
|
|
||
| ## Acquiring | ||
|
|
||
| Start by obtaining all the update materials. You will need the ROM image, the | ||
| SMC firmware, the VERA bitstream. | ||
|
|
||
| * ROM: https://github.com/X16Community/x16-rom/releases/tag/r47 | ||
| * Download `x16-rom-R47.zip` | ||
| * SMC: https://github.com/X16Community/x16-smc/releases | ||
| * Download `SMC-47.0.0.BIN` | ||
| * VERA: https://github.com/X16Community/vera-module/releases/tag/v47.0.2 | ||
| * Download `FLASHVERA.PRG` and `VERA_47.0.2.BIN` | ||
|
|
||
| You will also need Sven's X16 updater. This should have shipped on your SD card, | ||
| or you can download the current version from [here](https://github.com/FlightControl-User/x16-flash/releases/tag/r3.0.0) | ||
|
|
||
| * Download CX16-UPDATE-R3.0.0.PRG | ||
|
|
||
| ## Installing | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Power off the X16. | ||
| 2. Remove your SD card from the X16 and insert it in the SD card slot of a PC or | ||
| Mac. | ||
| 3. Create a new directory on your SD Card named UPDATE (all caps) and copy all | ||
| of the files into that directory. | ||
| 4. Rename the SMC file to `SMC.BIN` | ||
| 5. Rename the VERA file to `VERA.BIN` | ||
| 6. Rename the update program to `UPDATE.PRG` | ||
| 7. Safely eject the card from your computer and re-install it in the X16. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Updating | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Look for the **J1** Write Protect jumper on your motherboard. The jumper cap | ||
| must be _installed_ to enable writing to the system flash ROMs. | ||
| * This may be labeled "Remove J1 to write protect system ROM". | ||
| 2. Start your X16 and type `DOS"CD:/UPDATE"` and press RETURN | ||
| 3. type `LOAD UPDATE.PRG` and press RETURN | ||
| 4. Type `RUN` and press RETURN | ||
| 5. You'll get some warning screens about compatibility. These are normal. | ||
| 6. The ROM will update first. Once that's done, you'll be told to close the JP1 | ||
| pin on VERA. Don't actually close the pin until after the program has read | ||
| VERA.BIN (the bottom portion of the screen will be filled with dots) and the | ||
| middle portion says `CLOSE the JP1 jumper header on the VERA board!` | ||
| 7. Place the jumper cap on JP1 on the VERA board and press the SPACE bar. | ||
| * This disables the SD card, so you'll need to remove the cap once the | ||
| VERA flash is complete. | ||
| 8. The next step will be to update the SMC. When the program asks, hold the | ||
| power button down and tap the RESET button. You must do so before the timer | ||
| runs out. | ||
| 9. You will then see the same SMC update progress. | ||
| 10. If the SMC was updated, the power button on the front panel won't actually | ||
| turn off the computer, because the SMC runs on the +5V Standby rail. So you | ||
| need to remove the power cord from your X16 to fully power it off, then plug | ||
| it back in. | ||
| 11. After restarting your X16, confirm the version of the ROM, VERA, and SMC | ||
| firmware by typing `HELP` and pressing RETURN. | ||
| * After the full R47 release, the version numbers will be: | ||
| * COMMANDER X16 ROM RELEASE R47 | ||
| * VERA: V47.0.2 | ||
| * SMC: 47.0.0 | ||
| 12. At this point, if you have purchased a 65C816 processor, you can power the | ||
| system down (unplug it) and install the new CPU. |
