Updating System Firmware with ODE
The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) consists
of diagnostic modules for testing and verifying system
operation. The update utility of ODE provides the
capability of updating the PDC/IODC firmware from
the LIF directory onto the EEPROM.
ODE is an ISL utility. To invoke ODE and bring up the
update utility:
1
Invoke the ISL environment from the system disk.
2
Type
ode
after the
ISL>
prompt to invoke
ode
from the
LIF
directory on the system disk. The prompt changes to
ODE>
.
3
At the
ODE>
prompt, type
update
to bring up the update
utility. The prompt changes to
UPDATE>
.
The following commands may be entered at the
UPDATE>
prompt:
help
- prints a one line description of each of the
available commands in the update utility.
info
- prints information on how to use the update
utility.
run
- updates the PDC of the workstation from the
LIF directory.
image
- allows you to specify which LIF images to
use.
expert
- enables/disables exit pausing and run confir-
mation for expert users.
exit
- resets the workstation so the new PDC can run.
To run the
update
utility, type
run
at the
UPDATE>
prompt. After
update
loads the new images into mem-
ory, it asks if you want to continue the update process,
