Firmware Updates

These packages contain a downloadable image of the operating system, vision libraries, and application code (either stand alone or Pioneer). These are distributed as Motorola S-Record files (.s19 suffix).

The packages are downloaded to your board's Flash EEPROM using ARC or Mini-ARC's kernelload command.

Version 27.0, released May 12, 1997, includes performance enhancements, some additions to functionality, and a bugfix. (Download it and view the README files for more information).

Downloading new software requires that you install either Mini-ARC, or the full ARC C development environment. Mini-ARC comes free with all vision system purchases. If you have not already downloaded Mini-ARC, refer to the Mini-ARC Installation Guide in the Cognachrome manual. If you have purchased a vision system, but do not know your mini-ARC license key, please send e-mail to vision@newtonlabs.com.

Compilation Packages

These packages contain the header files and downloadable executables for the vision libraries. These packages, along with a full ARC C Development Environment installation (purchased separately), allow you to develop your own software for the Cognachrome vision system.

If you don't plan to change the supplied software for the Cognachrome system, you don't need these packages.
