2 Introduction This guide describes how to upgrade from ECS v5.2.4 to Eclipse HX v7.5, the third software release for the Clear-Com Eclipse HX™ digital matrix system (standalone or networked). This guide additionally identifies the simpler upgrade from V7.0/7.1 to V7.
• Upgrading the matrices in a networked (linked) system should take place at the same time, because the data sent between networked matrices can change. When upgrading networked (linked) matrices, Clear-Com recommends that you: • • Upgrade only one CPU card in each matrix first and then perform the rest of the system upgrade (interface cards, user panels, and so on) afterwards. • Upgrade the remaining CPU cards in the matrices only when the upgrade has been completed and tested across the full system.
Temporary roll back strategy If you want to roll back to the previously running version for a temporary period only, before making another attempt to upgrade to Eclipse HX v7.5, then you may implement the following temporary roll back strategy: 1. Leave all cards and panels at Eclipse HX v7.5. 2. Roll back the matrix CPU card to run at the previously running version. 3. Re-install the previous running version of ECS/EHX and import your old configurations.
Software DVD The software DVD contains: • The EHX configuration software, which is used to manage and configure your Eclipse HX devices. • Production Maestro Pro, which provides fast, intuitive audio routing control for your Eclipse HX system. • A full set of Eclipse HX documentation, including release notes and user guides.
To replace the Eclipse branded door with the Eclipse HX door: 1. Remove the two screws securing the Eclipse door (and hinge) unit to the Eclipse matrix. Retain the screws. 1 Figure 2: Screws securing the Eclipse door (and hinge) unit 2. Remove the four screws securing the hinge to the existing door unit.

Baud Rate 115200 Parity Even Stop One (bits) Data 8 (bits) Table 9: Tera Term: Serial port configuration Tip: You can use the Tera Term application for many of the Eclipse HX system upgrade processes.
8. Erase the old application code from the CPU cards. a. Place the CPU card in Test mode. b. Set the DIP switches on the CPU card as follows: Figure 15: DIP switch settings, Test mode c. Insert the CPU card into the Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HXDelta matrix. You can place the card in either the P1 or P2 slot. d. Confirm that the CPU card has entered test mode. If the card is in test mode, data similar to the following is displayed on the PC: Figure 16: Tera Term: CPU card test mode.
9. Download the new application code (firmware) to the CPU card(s), using Tera Term. a. Place the erased CPU card in serial download mode. Set the DIP switches on the CPU card as follows: Figure 17: Tera Term: DIP switches, serial download mode b. Insert the CPU card into the Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HXDelta matrix. The LED on the front of the matrix should flash LD AP. c. In Tera Term, open File and select Send file… Ensure that the BINARY option box is selected.
e. The file starts to download. Confirm that the CPU card LED matrix display shows numbers counting up. Important note: The count-up display indicates that packets are being received by the CPU card. The numbers do not represent a percentage complete figure. If the download fails, the CPU card display shows LD Err. This type of failure is usually caused by the user continuing to use the PC for other tasks while the download is occurring.
y 5.5 Setting the matrix type The Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Omega and Eclipse HX-Delta matrices run common software, which means that when you upgrade the application code for the CPU card, the CPU card cannot automatically distinguish between the two matrix types. You must therefore set the matrix type in EHX. Note: The Eclipse HX-PiCo runs its own matrix-specific software, and will always identify itself as an Eclipse HX-PiCo on hardware discovery.
Note: If the Event Log does not display, stop and restart the EHX software. 5.6 Checking the CPU card application code version To check the CPU card application code version: 4. In EHX, select Diagnostics > Event Log. 5. In the Matrix Event Log tab, Click the Play icon [ ]. 6. Click Request info. In the dialog, select Matrix Overview and click Send. 7. Look for the line that displays the application code (firmware) version. In the following example, the application code (version) number is 4.28.2.
2. Re-insert the CPU card into the matrix. If the CPLD image requires upgrading this will be performed and the CPU card will reset on completion to action the image in the CPLD device. 3. When the CPU card initializes (or re-initializes as a result of step 2.) and determines that the CPLD image is up to date it will output the following message via the LED front panel “CPLD Upgrades Enabled”. 4. Use the EHX firmware report to verify that the correct version of the U53 CPLD is now loaded. 5.
5.8 Upgrading CPU Card U1 CPLD The CPU card U1 upgrade can be performed any time after the V7.5 CPU card firmware has been loaded into the card. The U1 firmware image is embedded in the CPU card firmware image and therefore no additional download from EHX is required. Upgrade one CPU card at a time and verify correct functionality of the card after the upgrade before upgrading the second card. Note – Power must not be lost to the CPU card during the upgrade of the U1 CPLD.
7. Use the EHX firmware report to verify that the correct version of the U1 CPLD is now loaded. 8. If the upgrade has been completed disable the CPLD upgrade functionality by setting the DIP switches to the following settings. 5.9 Upgrading the CPU card U53 CPLD code with Xilinx tools Use the following procedure to upgrade the U53 CPLD code for the CPU card. To upgrade the CPU U53 CPLD code with Xilinx tools: 1. Check that you have the latest version of Xilinx tools installed.
Figure 22: Example iMPACT Boundary Scan 8. If the cable is connected correctly, the application will connect and a Xilinx chip chain will be shown. If the cable is not connected correctly, a cable connection warning is given. The full chain shows two devices, as shown below). Figure 23: Example Xilinx chip chain 9.
