If you have installed or upgraded the RDA software, and your system includes an IO-62 card and connector panel, you must update the firmware running on RCP8 to be compatible with the installed RDA software.

  1. Login as root
  2. Check for running processes by typing: ps-iris
  3. Stop any running processes by typing: 
    # qiris
# quant
  4. Log in as radarop (with password xxxxxx)

    You enter X–Windows.

  5. Right-click and start a terminal window.
  6. For each Vaisala component, type the appropriate command. For example:

  7. Shut down the system by typing: poweroff
  8. When Power down is displayed, turn power off with power switch on lower right of front panel.

    The FPGA software installation is complete.

    The reboot takes about 1 minute.
