Micro-modem Firmware
The Micro-modem firmware can be upgraded via modem serial port. There are different versions to chose, and in some cases a custom firmware build is required, with project-specific features. Custom firmware builds may be available for your application. The Micro-modem and Co-processor Firmware Programming Tutorial covers direct cable and in-situ firmware programming of the Micro-modem and Micro-modem Co-Processor.
- AUV-0.93.0.22 is the latest stable and feature-complete general firmware release. This release is for 201002 Micro-modems (i.e. v1.3, v1.3b, v1.3c or newer revisions) with bootloader version 1.3.2 or higher. 201002 Micro-modems with bootloader version 1.3.0 can be upgraded at WHOI at no cost to the user. Older 201001 Micro-modem hardware (i.e. v1.1, v1.1b) is no longer supported by WHOI. Please contact Keenan Ball at kball@whoi.edu for additional upgrade information.
- AUV-0.93.0.30 is the latest stable and feature-complete general firmware release candiate which is still being tested (for advanced users only).
Micro-modem Co-Processor Firmware
The Micro-modem coprocessor firmware can also be upgraded via the modem serial port using an application that can be installed and executed on the Micro-modem. The Micro-modem will need bootloader version 1.3.2 or higher and a coprocessor with PLD version 3. Please contact Keenan Ball at kball@whoi.edu for additional upgrade information.
- PSK-0.10.0.45 is the latest stable and feature-complete general firmware release.
- cpflash-0-01-0-01 is the downloader application for programming firmware on the Co-Processor via the Micro-modem.
ModemTool
ModemTool is a Win32 GUI application for configuring and operating the Micro-Modem. ModemTool can generate and parse NMEA formatted Micro-Modem messages. It can schedule modem transactions and log all messages, making it useful for testing equipment and driver software.
