to enable Preserve reference matrix during the Hub FW upload process. Upon hub reboot after
new firmware is loaded, the preserved reference matrix is used and Dart hub does not require
re-referencing.
Reference matrix can be preserved over Hub firmware updates only when –
 Hub FW version is upgraded
 Hub FPGA version stays the same
 Rx firmware is not upgraded (even if upgrade is available as part of hub FW upgrade)
Uploading new Hub FPGA firmware
You can easily change the Hub FPGA firmware to a different version. Before beginning a
firmware upload, make sure the client machine can access the hub FPGA firmware through a
CD, hard drive, or local network.
Uploading hub FPGA firmware is non-reversible. Therefore, make sure you install the proper
firmware to the Hub.
To upload Dart Hub FPGA firmware:
1 Start Hub Administration and Management application, click Administration.
2 In the Administration view, on the Hub FW tab, click Browse… under Upload Hub FPGA
Firmware to locate the hub FPGA firmware file to upload.
3 Click Upload. The upload action will subsequently restart the hub firmware. For Hub FW
5.0.0 and up, during the firmware restart, the newly uploaded FPGA firmware will be
pushed to hub hardware.
4 If the newly uploaded hub FPGA firmware is different than the firmware currently running
on hub FPGA, the Upgrade button is activated. Click Upgrade to push the newly uploaded
