When the NMC cards were upgrade to a larger flash to support Hiper DSP cards, USR shipped blank flash modules to replace the smaller ones that shipped with the cards.

To put the code on the unit, you would do it through the serial port using the PCSDL.EXE utility.

When the card is sitting there with a green blinking light, it means its waiting for the PCSDL utility to send it code through the serial port.

So, I got PCSDL from UTStar's support site, and copied all of my firmware files to the same directory, but It wants this SDL file. The problem is that I have no idea what that file is, and have never seen one. It's not included in the .zip files of firmware I have either. Is this something I can get ahold of without a support contract? Any advice appreciated :)

Subject: [USR-TC] How to reload firmware on blank NMC? From: Nick Bright <nick.bright@gmail.com> Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2005 19:26:41 -0500 To: usr-tc@mailman.xmission.com

So in my exploration of what componants are available to me to deploy this new RAS, I went through my NMC collection. I've discovered that one of my NMC units has a stick note stating "NO SOFTWARE!!!!", and when I put it in my chassis and try to boot it, it does nothing - won't even respond on the serial port. All I get is a blinking green "RN/FL" light.

So, I'm figuring someone tried to flash it, and it didn't work. Any thoughs on how to fix this? Can I send firmware up to it through the serial port somehow?

Thanks, Nick
