1. OVERVIEW
The information in this CD-ROM booklet describes how to use this CD-ROM to
update the software on the Gantry CPU board, and how to update the firmware
of the different chips on each of the Gantry Movement boards.
WARNING
This CD-ROM must not be used for system installation and mainte-
nence. Only use this CD-ROM when instructed by an FMI or Upgrade
Instruction.

Also the flashing is conditionally done. It will extract the binaries from the
archive, change boot sequence, ask to restart:

Note: the script will wait up to the 50 sec. timeout, please wait dur-

- Here the script executes the actual flashing of the binaries on the
board. Please wait until you see the following message:
Flashing binaries done
- If the answer is 'n' then something went wrong during flashing and it is
possible that the board could be corrupted. In such case type 'n' and
the script will exit. At this point you can try to execute the script again,
but it is not necessary nor advisable to do the backup again.

Note: if you are on Seno Essential and rebooting after flashing the

then the first boot will fail as the software reconfigure itself for

this is normal and in such case please reboot a second time
- Upon booting up Seno Essential for the first time, Poseidon software
will detect the presence of the locking node and reconfigure (Autocon-
fig) itself for the Seno Essential. As the note says in such case a sec-
ond reboot is necessary.

after restoring the data.

12. Click the Power off button at the right bottom side of the Browser to
completely shutdown the system.
WARNING
A simple Browser restart is not sufficient for the changes to take effect.
13. Power up the system again from the X-Ray Console.
14. Check that the upgrade was successful. From the Browser, click the Tools
menu button , and then click Service Desktop. From the SITE INFOR-
MATION page that appears, read the POSEIDON version. It must be the
same as the version listed in Table 1 on page 3. Once you have verified
that the POSEIDON version is the same as the version supplied with this
CD-ROM you can proceed to section 3, “Updating The Firmware on Gan-
try Movement Boards”, starting on page 11.
Each Gantry Movement board has an HC12 (micro controller) chip and a
CPLD (Complex Programming Logic Device) chip. The Lift and Rotation Gan-
try boards also have a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip. Table 2 on
page 12 summarizes the format of the firmware files and the upgrade times
that correspond to each of the Gantry Movement board's chips. It also summa-
rizes the order in which you must upgrade each of the Gantry Movement
boards.
WARNING
On any Gantry Movement board, the HC12 chip must always be updat-
ed first and then the Gantry re-booted before updating the DSP and/or
CPLD chip.
WARNING
The Positioner CD contains the software and firmware for the Senog-
raphe DS and Essential products.
The Locking HC12 firmware is unique to Senographe Essential, there
is no Locking firmware for Senographe DS.
The Bucky release is different between DS and Essential.

Note : Filenames and version numbers may vary to the screen shot.
These pictures are given as examples only.
8. Select the firmware corresponding to the Gantry Movement board and chip
you want to update (see Table 2 on page 12). You can only select one
firmware file at any time.
WARNING
Make sure you always start with the HC12 chip for any of the Gantry
Movement boards.
9. Click the Next button.
A Guided Install : Confirmation window appears.
10. Click the Confirm button to confirm your patch choice.
A Guided Install / Installation Instructions for <patch> window appears with
a list of pre-installation instructions that you must perform before you con-
tinue with the upgrade.
Note : It takes about 2-3 minutes after you click on Confirm Button.
Note : The pre-installation steps that you are instructed perform vary
according to the chip and the Gantry Movement board you intend to
update.
Note : Ignore the error messages displayed on the gantry LCD screen dur-
ing the firmware update process, such as "control failure" and "stop motion

line active". These error messages are normal during the upgrade pro-
cess.
Note : The progress bar will usually stop at 99% for an extended period of
time, because during this time the memory is being flashed and verified,
this progress bar does not reflect the real progress of the update. The
update times vary for each chip and Gantry board according to Table 2 on
page 12.
Once the firmware update is complete, the progress bar reaches 100%
and the message Installation successful appears as follows.
14. Click the Home or Exit button to exit the Service Desktop.
15. If the post-installation steps listed in step 15 instructed you to perform a re-
calibration, reboot the gantry and re-calibrate the appropriate Gantry
Movement board.
4. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Issue 1
Problem
After Poseidon download, gantry does not start up and H05 Internal software
Error 160/003, SW config file read failed can be found on either the gantry LCD
or error.log file.
Solution
1. Re-install Poseidon :
- answer 'NO' to the backup,
- answer 'NO' to the restore of the calibration questions during the
installation process.
2. The calibration data was lost during the previous download. The Collima-
tor calibration should be performed in this case as well.
Issue 2
Problem
I can't start the download, because the GUI displays a message that one
download instance is already running ("Guided install already running...").
Solution
1. Open a Command Window.
2. Enter cd /export/home/swd_data
3. Enter rm .instanceRunningforIM
4. Try to download again.
Issue 3
Problem
I can not see any patches when I select Install From CDROM
Solution
1. If you have access to Command Window, please perform the following:
- Login as root (password operator).
- Execute the command /etc/init.d/volmgt stop.
- Execute the command /etc/init.d/volmgt start.
2. Make sure you have the CD which contains Patches.
CD should contain .zip file which will have all patches (tar.gz).
