setfirmware

Description

setfirmware configures the major version of the firmware to use at program startup time.

% setfirmware <major version of firmware>

You can check major versions that can be configured for the firmware by running setfirmware with no arguments.
Note: After running this script, execute ndrun at least once to propagate the change before you make master data.

Notes

If you are using the make-based build system included in the RevolutionSDK Extensions (REX) package, take note of the following.

The REX build system that has been released until now (2007/10/02) uses a method independent of the RevolutionSDK to switch the firmware used at program startup. As a result, even if the firmware is switched using the method provided by RevolutionSDK, those settings will not be applied. Note that programs built using the REX build system will be started using the firmware specified in the build system configuration file. There are currently no plans to change the REX build system in the future.

You can switch firmware for REX by modifying the value of the REX_TITLEID variable in $REX/build/buildtools/commondefs.rex (created after the REX package is expanded) and then rebuilding.
