3. FILE INSTALLATION AND FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE

3.1 Windows Installer File Installation

To install the GMCE core firmware release files onto you computer, execute the windows
installer: GMCECoreFirmware1.33.XXBxx.Exe. Where “Bxx” is the installer’s build
number starting at 1, and “XX” is the revision number of the firmware release. It is located in
the Kodak network folder:
\\Fw1ccbuild\ReleaseCandidates\GMCE_CORE\V1.33
The install procedure will copy all of the released files to a default location of
C:\Creo\Firmware\GMCECore.V1.33. The BOOTP server files will also be copied to the
C:\Creo\Firmware folder for execution from there.
This is the only supported method of obtaining the GMCE Core Firmware released files.

3.2 Firmware Installation to GMCE Board

The Windows installer tool can directly download the firmware binaries to the GMCE
board(s). You will need an RS232 serial port and cable to download the HCS12 firmware
update if you choose to perform this firmware update. You will need an active TCP/IP
Ethernet connection between the Windows workstation and the GMCE board to download
the Xilinx and GMCE boot binaries. The installer will try to determine which GMCE
firmware binaries need to be updated and select the correct check boxes for you.
The preferred firmware to be running on the GMCE board for use with the Windows Installer
tool is a recent version of product-specific firmware. If this is not available, then reset the
GMCE board into Boot code first, by issuing the monitor command: “reset boot” to ensure a
successful download operation.
The Windows installer tool does not support serial port firmware downloads for the xilinx
and gmce boot/post code modules. If this type of download is required, it must be done
manually from a supplied script (you may have to modify the script to match your available
serial port number) from a DOS window. See Appendix A for more details.

6. MANUAL INSTALLATION OF WINDOWS SUPPORT FILES

These procedures are not normally required, as the Windows installer tool will install and
load the Kodak BOOTP Server automatically. The following batch files are supplied to allow
you to manually start, stop and remove the Kodak Bootp Service.
The Kodak BOOTP Server files are copied into the default folder called
“C:\Creo\Firmware\”. This Windows service can be manually installed, started, restarted, and
removed. Use the batch file: “CBootp_Load.cmd” to install and start the server. Use the
batch file: CBootp_Remove.cmd to stop and remove the Kodak BOOTP server. Use the
batch file: CBootp_Restart.cmd to stop and restart the Kodak BOOTP server.

6.4 Modification of the ‘CreoBootp.Ini’ File

The default CreoBootp.Ini file should work OK for you assuming you are using the default
TCP/IP configuration parameters and a separate GMCE dedicated 1000GBit NIC in your PC.
The CreoBootp.Ini GMCE configuration file should only require modification to specify
your machine’s product-specific firmware binary to be run, and/or if you cannot use the
supplied default IP address and net mask assignments on your computer. Typically the
product firmware’s windows installer tool will update this file automatically for you.

10. Set up the flash NVS parameters for TCP/IP configuration to match the Ip address (x2),
Netmask (x2), and Gateway parameters as specified in the CreoBootp.Ini file. This will
allow TCP/IP Ethernet communication to work even if the GMCE board cannot contact
the BOOTP Server. Use the following example monitor commands to do this:
net gateway 192.168.100.209
net copper ipaddr 192.168.100.193
net copper netmask 255.255.255.192
net fiber ipaddr 192.168.100.193
net fiber netmask 255.255.255.128

11. If you will be downloading product specific firmware for the GMCE board, issue the
commands “access dev” and then: “gmce boot on”. This will setup an NVS parameter
that informs the 405 Boot Code to attempt to download the GMCE board’s product
specific firmware binary from the workstation according to what product specific binary
file has been specified in the C:\Creo\Firmware\CreoBootp.Ini configuration file.

8. APPENDIX B – SERIAL PORT FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD METHOD

The following firmware download method will download both the GMCE xilinx image and
the GMCE BOOT/POST firmware code via the GMCE’s HCS12 MCU’s serial port. This
method is normally only used during manufacturing when the board does not yet have any
previous firmware already installed onto it. You only need to use this method if one of the
previous Ethernet/FTP download methods fails, or is not available for you to use.
This procedure will download the GMCELCA205.exo and the GMCEBOOT140p.hex
firmware images into your GMCE board.
1. Attach serial port cable from your PC to GMCE DB9 connector J39, set baud rate to
38400, use Term.exe program. Make sure that ServiceShell is not running, and that
ServiceShell is not using this serial port.
2. Erase the external flash chip. Use the HCS12 monitor command: "fce", or you can just
erase the following flash sectors: "fe 0", and "fe 4 127”. Wait for it to complete.
3. Close the Term.exe program (use ^C).
4. Load the PowerPC firmware and Xilinx image into external flash. Execute the script
"405Update.Cmd". Wait for it to complete, this is a fairly lengthy process.
5. Re-run the Term.exe program ("Term com1 38400").
6. Press the GMCE board blue reset button, or power cycle the machine. Verify that the
HCS12 main firmware comes up, and that it successfully loads the Xilinx image.
7. Close Term (use ^C).
8. Move the PC's serial cable over to the GMCE board's DB9 connector J38 if you are using
a Rev B GMCE board, or connect the PC’s USB serial cable to connector J69 if you are
using a Rev C or newer GMCE board.
9. Run Term program again, use "Term com1 115200". (Use the correct COM port number
for your case)
10. Press the GMCE board blue reset button, or power cycle the machine. Verify that the 405
boot loader firmware comes up, and that it successfully loads the 405 boot code.
11. Type "net status", and verify that your previous TCP/IP ethernet settings have been
restored. If they are not correct, or you wish to establish new default setting in flash NVS,
then use the following monitor commands to setup your (copper) netmask, gateway, and
IP Address:
net copper netmask 255.255.255.192
net copper ipaddr 192.168.100.193
net gateway 192.168.100.209
12. Now use the following monitor commands to setup your (fiber) netmask, and IP Address:
net fiber netmask 255.255.255.128
net fiber ipaddr 192.168.100.193
13. Press the GMCE board blue reset button, or power cycle the machine. Wait for 405 boot
code to come back up.
14. Run the command "net status", and verify that your Ip address, netmask, and gateway
address are now correct.
You should now be able to "ping" and "telnet" to your GMCE board, assuming that the
copper Ethernet cable is hooked up to your PC’s 1000GBit Ethernet NIC.

9. APPENDIX C - INSTALLING THE 1000GBIT NIC CARD

After installing the GBIT network card, set it up to use the static IP Address of
192.168.100.209, and a net mask of 255.255.255.128. This will work OK for GMCE
installations that are configured using the default private IP Address assignment as setup in
the supplied CreoBootp.Ini configuration file.
See below:

10. APPENDIX D - NVS BINARY FILE UPDATE ISSUE

The file GMCENVS00.Bin contains a binary image of the non-flash nvs parameters used by
the GMCE firmware. It is downloaded to the GMCE memory by the Kodak Bootp server
upon GMCE 405 Boot firmware startup. It is then updated on the Windows workstation
whenever the GMCE firmware changes a non-flash nvs parameter.
When using the Windows Installer to copy the GMCE Core release files to your workstation,
the sample GMCENVS00.Bin file is only copied to the C:\Creo\Firmware folder if it does
not yet already exist. The GMCENVS00.Bin file supplied by the Windows installer is only a
blank nvs image to be used as a starter file.

11. APPENDIX E - GMCE DIAGNOSTIC LEDS – STARTUP

The GMCE Boot Loader uses the GMCE-PPC diagnostic Leds to indicate the startup state,
memory test status, boot code loading, and staying in boot loader code. The following PPC
status LEDS indicate the various operating states, with the Red Service LED always blinking
ON/OFF to indicate this special LED status mode. They all blink at the rate of 200msec
On/Off.
STATE W/S_COMM HEARTBEAT IDLE SERVICE
----- -------- --------- ---- -------
Start Off Off Off On (Initial LED state)
64M Test On Off Off On (Testing 64M PowerPC instruction ram)
32M Test On On Off On (Testing 32M PowerPC Image data ram)
Boot Load On On On On (Loading PowerPC Boot code from flash)
Mon Prompt Off On Off Off (Staying in Boot Loader code - monitor prompt)

12. APPENDIX F - WINDOWS XP SP2 FIREWALL ISSUES

IMPORTANT: If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2, disable the Windows
Firewall before installing the GMCE Core Firmware release. It will block the Kodak BootP
Server by default! This results in NO BOOTP communication for the GMCE firmware.
A second option to operate with the Windows Firewall in place is to enable operation of the
Kodak Bootp Server by setting up exceptions within the Windows Firewall setup tool. The
following procedure shows you how to do this.
1. Open up the Windows Firewall configuration screen. Use: Start – Settings – Control
Panel – Windows Firewall.
