1.2 Firmware update

1.2Firmware update

Update the firmware with a USB-Stick.

Updates for the easyE RTD Advanced are made available by Eaton Industries GmbH, Bonn inthe Download Center - Software under Firmware Updates as *.zip files.
Eaton Products & Services - Eaton Europe

Check the integrity of the firmware update ZIP file

The integrity of the firmware update ZIP file can be checked using a separate hash file which
can be found on the Download Center in the column “txt”.
For instance the respective hash file for V1.1.0.0 of the firmware is named„easyERTD_Advanced_UPDATE_V1100_ZIP_sha256_hash.txt“. This file contains the original
hash for the ZIP-file. To calculate the hash value of the ZIP-file on your system you can utilize astandard tool to calculate SHA256 hashes. On a Windows 10 system the tool „certutil.exe“ canbe used:certutil.exe -hashfile <ZIP-file> SHA256 > my_hash.txt
or for the V1.1.0.0 firmware update:certutil.exe -hashfile easyERTD_Advanced_UPDATE_V1100.zip SHA256 >my_hash.txt

The file my_hash.txt now contains the hash value of the ZIP file on your system. This value canbe compared to the hash file from the Eaton Download Center, e.g.
easyERTD_Advanced_UPDATE_V1100_ZIP_sha256_hash.txt. The ZIP file on your system is
identical to the ZIP file from the Eaton Download Center if the two hash values are identical.
Perform the firmware update

To perform the firmware update please follow these steps:

1. Unpack the easyERTD_Advanced_UPDATE_V1100.zip file.
2. Place the file easyrtd-update-es-v1.1.0.0-B2-0028.raucb in the root directoryof a USB-Stick.
3. Attach the USB-Stick to your easyE RTD.
4. Log in as Admin, go to the update page and perform the update.
