CE PDA
10. After the firmware of your PDA has been updated, you must perform a
warm reset on the Falcon (refer to the Quick Reference Guide for instruc-
tions on the reset method for your Falcon model.)
Restoring Falcon Firmware
If the firmware image on the Falcon 4220 becomes corrupted, the terminal
will continue to display the PSC Falcon logo with an error message at the bot-
tom of the screen. This can happen if the firmware update is aborted, as can
happen during a power loss.
To reinstall the firmware, complete the following steps:
1. Obtain a 64MB compact flash card and format it for FAT-16 format
using the Windows format routine on a PC.
2. Download the current
nkupd.bin file from the PSC web site
3. Copy nkupd.bin to the compact flash card.
4. Insert the card into the Falcon 4220.
5. Cold reset the device. (Refer to the Quick Reference Guide for informa-
tion on the cold reset procedure.)
6. Immediately after starting the cold reset, press and hold the down arrow.
7. Once the PDA displays a message at the bottom of the logo screen say-
ing it is checking media, release the down arrow.
8. The unit will locate the firmware on the compact flash card and restore
the image.
9. Once the restoration is complete, perform another cold reset on the
device to load the new firmware.
AutoCAB
The AutoCAB program allows the PDA to automatically reinstall selected
applications when the terminal is cold reset. When the Falcon is reset, the
AutoCAB program runs automatically and determines if it is a warm or cold
reset. If it is a warm reset, the program just exits.
