*** Instructions updated 10/17/08 ***
For users who have older SRV-1 Blackfin robots with Matchports running at 921kbps, here are instructions for updating firmware to run at 2500kbps. If you have a newer SRV-1, you are already running at 2500kbps, so these instructions do not apply. SRV-1 Blackfin Robots and SRV-1 Blackfin Cameras with WiFi
shipped after 23 May 2008 have the 2.5Mbps firmware
pre-installed on the Matchport and Blackfin.
====================================
High speed Matchport firmware installation instructions:
1. Download and save new Matchport test firmware from
http://www.surveyor.com/blackfin/matchport-6500GE.rom 2. Upload new Matchport firmware via tftp - see
http://www.surveyor.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1202655400 if you're uncertain how
3. Download and save new SRV-1 Blackfin test firmware - use srv1.ldr from
http://www.surveyor.com/blackfin/srv-blackfin-100508.zip 4. Upload the new srv1.ldr to the SRV-1 via XMODEM, and save to flash with zZ.
5. now telnet to your Matchport on port 9999 to change its configuration. If your IP address is 192.168.0.15, then
"telnet 192.168.0.15 9999"

6. Your Matchport should now be running at 2500k. You may have to restart the telnet, nc, or net terminal connection to port 10001 after the change of baud rate, as the connection might have been broken. Reset the SRV-1 Blackfin processor and verify that the SRV-1 is running properly at this higher baud rate - try SRV1Console or any other test program you might have.
7. Special note - if you are compiling your own version of firmware, pay special attention to what baud rate has been set for UART0 in config.h.
