Release Notes
-------------

These Release notes apply to the following firmware version:

HPE3474A    A.01.01  SIEMENS C167/5 Emulator     28May97

The following Siemens processors are supported:

    C167
    C165

Notes on firmware update process
--------------------------------

Make a directory on your hard disk and copy all files from this
floppy to the new directory.

On MS-DOS machines, this can be done with the following commands:

md c:hpprobe
a:
copy *.* c:\hpprobe

On HP-UX machines with built in floppy drives, use the following
sequence with <floppy device> replaced with the name of the raw
device file, typically "/dev/rst/0s1" or "/dev/rfloppy/c0t1d0":

mkdir hpprobe
cd hpprobe
doscp <floppy device>:install.hp7 install.hp7
sh install.hp7 <floppy device>

On Sun Solaris machines with built in floppy drive, use the
following commands:

volcheck
mkdir hpprobe
cd hpprobe
cp /floppy/floppy0/* .
eject

On SunOS 4.1 machines, there is no standard utilities for reading
MS-DOS format floppies.  To find out if there are any non-standard
means of reading MS-DOS floppies on your machine, check with your
system administrator.

For all UNIX machines, you can copy the files from a LAN based PC
using a LAN file transfer utility like ftp or rcp.  Use binary
mode to transfer all files.  Depending on the tools used, the
file names may be all upper case or all lower case on UNIX after
the transfer.  The programs and instructions below assume all 
filenames are lower case.  If the names appear as all upper case
on the UNIX machine, the *.X files must be renamed to all lower
case names, the PRGFLASH.XXX command must be given as all upper
case and the full name of the .CFG file must be used (for example
for the Siemens C167/5 on HP-UX use the command:

    PRGFLASH.HP7 -v <ip addr> E3474.CFG

You may also have to make the prgflash.xxx executable with the
command chmod 555 prgflash.xxx (where xxx is either sun, sol or
hp7 as described below).


Firmware update from UNIX
-------------------------

Pick the appropriate prgflash program for your host:

prgflash.hp7 - for HP-UX series 700 (over LAN)
prgflash.sun - for Sun OS 4.1 (over LAN)
prgflash.sol - for Sun Solaris 5.1 (over LAN)
prgflash.exe - for Windows 95 and NT (over LAN)

To program the firmware for the Siemens C167/5 use the command:

prgflash.xxx -v <ip addr> e3474

Where xxx is hp7, sun, sol or exe depending on host as described above
and <ip addr> is the ip address of your Siemens C167/5 Probe.

If an update fails part way through, you may have left the Siemens C167/5
Probe in an unusable state.  If this happens, open switch 4, cycle
power on the Siemens C167/5 Probe.  This will restart the Probe running
from its boot roms which are not affected by the prgflash command
above.  Once the Probe is programmed, close switch 4 and cycle
power.  It should now be ready to use.
