• Start the robolink-DCi robot
• Connect both computers, i.e. the embedded linux computer and the Windows PC, with an ethernet cable. Use the right LAN port on the embedded Linux Board.
  • The Windows computer needs to be set to an available static IP in the address range 192.168.3.0/24 such as 192.168.3.2.
  • (The Linux embedded computer has IP 192.168.3.11, subnet 255.255.255.0 by default.)
• Start the CPRog software (Version from June 3rd 2018 or later)
• Verify that the project "robolink_5Axis_Small" (for robolink DCi with motor encoder) or "robolink_5Axis_Small_AE" (for robolink DCi with output encoder) is loaded in CPRog.
• Press the "Connect" button in CPRog
• Choose the menu button "Upper-left-circle --> Embedded Robot Control --> Download Binary"
• Choose the current TinyCtrl binary that you have just downloaded
• CPRog now stops the TinyCtrl binary, which is running on the robolink-DCi linux board and downloads the new version from the Windows PC to the linux board.
• Choose the menu button "Upper-left-circle --> Embedded Robot Control --> Start Control" to start the new TinyCtrl binary.
• To verify the TinyCtrl version that is installed on the linux board, you can check the logfile on the linux board from the Teach Pendant (touch screen remote).
