This procedure is to upgrade firmware in a USB coordinator (wireless Sedona Framework Jennic USB adapter) that was previously added using the New Jennic Wireless Adapter tool in Workbench (see Installing a new USB coordinator (New Jennic Wireless Adapter) for related details).
Flash the firmware in a USB coordinator
It is recommended to upgrade the firmware in your USB coordinator when upgrading to Sedona Framework TXS, to whatever firmware is delivered within a new release.
Insert the USB coordinator into a USB 2.0 port on the Workbench PC, if not already inserted.
Start Workbench (or if already started, restart Workbench).
From the Workbench menu bar, select
-> .The tool’s “Configuration View” displays, with Ports shown in the top pane “Port table”.
If no ports are listed, the tool is stopped, with the USB coordinator ‘s LED blinking blue at fast rate. Click the start control
to start it, so ports list in the table.
Click the COM port row of type adapter. If not started, click the
Start button.
The firmware version number and (editable) configuration of the coordinator appears in the view.
Click the button (bottom far right). A popup Firmware Archive dialog appears.
The figure below shows a default Firmware Archive popup example for Sedona Framework Workbench 1.1. If using Niagara Workbench
enabled for Sedona Framework TXS 1.1, the default path will be longer (including “sedonaBundles”), but will end the same:
sedona/jennic/firmware
In addition, more firmware archive files will be listed. However, you still select one of the two files mentioned below.
Depending on USB coordinator model, select either:
Early model (ZR154), black oval shaped design: firmware-JN5139T01-ZR154coord.zip
Later model (T2071), putty color rect. design: firmware-JN5139T01-T2071coord.zip
Where the newer T2071 (putty colored rectangular design) USB device is more common. Note that either coordinator will function properly with the other’s firmware; however, LEDs will not blink properly.
In the Firmware Archive dialog, click the button to start the flash download.
A popup Flash dialog appears, showing progress in writing.
While updating the firmware, there is no LED activity on the USB coordinator.
When the firmware update is done, if the coordinator is not already started, click the Start button.
The firmware version appears above the Panid property setting, as shown above (2.0.25.2
).
The USB coordinator LED remains blinking blue at a fast rate if it is stopped (not ready to run a network), or else blinks green, at a one second rate if it is ready and available for network connections from Jennic-based Sedona Framework devices.
