PIB14-04-AG AIR-COOLED EVOLUTION BOOTLOADER TROUBLE SHOOTING NOTE: There are three notification LEDs on User Interface (Auto = Green, Manual = Blue, Off = Red). The User Run notification is the Blue LED.

Problem • Power Up/Reboot • Flashing User Run Notification LED • CONTROLLER DOES NOT RUN

Correction The Bootcode has detected that there is no application or the application is corrupted. The User Run Notification flashing LED is a signal that it cannot proceed with the boot process and it is looking for an application to download. Use the recommended USB flash drive and place a valid “Evo.gen” file in the root directory. Insert it into the controllers USB port and watch for the green LED to flash which indicates the download process has begun.

• Power Up/Reboot – USB Inserted • Flashing User Run Notification LED

If a USB device with the “Evo.gen” file is inserted, the “Evo.gen” file might be misnamed or not in the root directory.

• CONTROLLER DOES NOT RUN • Power Up/Reboot – USB Inserted – w/ “Evo.gen” file • Flashing User Run Notification LED – Followed by flashing Green • CONTROLLER DOES NOT RUN

The Bootcode has found the “Evo.gen” file on the stick and has validated it. After downloading the file to the unit, it has detected that the file is corrupt and will not proceed with the boot process and continues to look for an application to download. This is only possible if the flash memory in the controller is defective and the unit cannot be programmed. Replace the controller.

• Repeats • Power Up/Reboot – USB Inserted – w/ “Evo.gen” file • Flashing User Run Notification LED • Flashing Red LED • CONTROLLER DOES NOT RUN

The Bootcode has found the “Evo.gen” file on the stick and has determined that there is a problem with it. It has also detected that there is no application or the application is corrupted in flash. 1. Try reinserting the USB flash drive. 2. Try recopying the file to the USB flash drive. 3. Try using another USB flash drive with a fresh copy of the file. OR The “Evo.gen” file might be fine, but the USB device being used might be unsupported. Use the recommended USB flash drive.

PIB14-04-AG • Power Up/Reboot – USB Inserted – w/ “Evo.gen” file • Flashing User Run Notification LED • Flashing Red LED • CONTROLLER RUNS OLD APPLICATION • Attempt download of “Evo.gen” file • OLD APPLICATION SHOWS “Invalid File” MESSAGE

The Bootcode has found the “Evo.gen” file on the flash drive and has determined that there is a problem with it. It has also determined that the application on the unit is still valid and continues the boot process so the unit can run. The problem that the Bootcode has seen should be reported by the application for a few seconds at the start of the application. The “Evo.gen” file doesn’t have the proper identification in the file and is rejected by the Bootcode. Perhaps the file was renamed? Obtain the recommended USB flash drive and place a valid “Evo.gen” file in the root directory. Insert it into the controllers USB port and watch for the green LED to flash which indicates the download process has begun.

• Attempt download of “Evo.gen” file • OLD APPLICATION SHOWS “Corrupted File” MESSAGE

The “Evo.gen” file was CRC tested and it failed. The file has been altered in some way. Obtain the recommended USB flash drive and place a valid “Evo.gen” file in the root directory. Insert it into the controllers USB port and watch for the green LED to flash which indicates the download process has begun.

• Attempt download of “Evo.gen” file • OLD APPLICATION SHOWS “Unsupported Device” MESSAGE

The USB device was recognized, but the Bootcode wasn’t able to properly use it. It may have drawn too much current. Obtain the recommended USB flash drive and place a valid “Evo.gen” file in the root directory. Insert it into the controllers USB port and watch for the green LED to flash which indicates the download process has begun.

• Attempt download of “Evo.gen” file • OLD APPLICATION SHOWS “Unsupported Device” MESSAGE • CONTROLLER APPEARS TO “LOCK UP” FOR AWHILE • Using Evolution Serial Download Tool • Attempt selection of “Evo.gen” file • TOOL REPORTS AN ERROR WITH THE FILE • Attempt download of “Evo.gen” file – Know file is valid • CONTROLLER RUNS OLD APPLICATION

The over current “software fuse” has been tripped. It resets at about 50 seconds. Remove the device from the USB port and wait, or navigate out of the USB menus and back in to reset. Do not use unsupported device! Make sure a “Evo.gen” is being selected and not a hex file. It’s also possible that the file has become corrupted in some way. Obtain the recommended USB flash drive and place a valid “Evo.gen” file in the root directory. Make sure there is only one file in the root directory of the flash drive. If it takes too long to find the “Evo.gen” file, the boot process can time out and will jump to the already loaded code.
