Abstract:
1. An upgrade method for a programmable logic module, wherein the programmable logic module has a first printed circuit board with a socket, a downloading unit, a field programmable gate array and a nonvolatile memory is fixed by soldering to a second printed circuit board, and the second printed circuit is plugged into the socket, the upgrade method comprising: removing the second printed circuit with the nonvolatile memory from the socket on the first printed circuit board; disposing the second printed circuit with the nonvolatile memory on a writer; writing a new program into the nonvolatile memory by the writer; inserting the second printed circuit board with the nonvolatile memory into the socket, wherein the new program is stored in the nonvolatile memory; and downloading the new program stored in the nonvolatile memory to the field programmable gate array by the downloading unit.
