Updating the Debug Monitor Firmware
5. If updating the firmware on the AlphaPC 164SX or the AlphaPC 164LX, go to
Section 2.4.2. If updating the firmware on any other motherboard, proceed to
Section 2.4.6.
Starting the Firmware Update Utility from a Diskette
The firmware update utility is provided only on a compact disc; a diskette is not
provided. See the Alpha Motherboards Software Developer’s Kit and Firmware
Update Read Me First for information about how to create a firmware update
diskette.
To start the firmware update utility from a firmware update diskette that you have
created, follow this procedure:
1. Insert the firmware update diskette into drive A.
2. At the Alpha SRM Console prompt, enter the following command:
>>> fwupdate
Notes: Alpha SRM Console versions prior to V4.4–1 do not recognize the
fwupdate command. For versions prior to V4.4–1, enter the following
commands at the Alpha SRM Console prompt:
>>> cat fat:fwupdate.exe/dva0 > pmem: 900000
>>> stop -drivers
>>> jtopal 900000
The firmware update utility will reinitialize some system components; it
may appear as if your system is restarting.
3. If updating the firmware on the AlphaPC 164SX or the AlphaPC 164LX, go to
Section 2.4.2. If updating the firmware on any other motherboard, proceed to
Section 2.4.6.
2.4.6 Running Firmware Update
To run the firmware update utility, follow this procedure:
1. If you have an AlphaPC 64, an EB164, or an EB66+, you must enable the
Advanced menu to run the firmware update utility. To enable the Advanced
menu, observe the initialization messages displayed on the terminal attached to
