HS2 Firmware upgrade

[Warichet]

Hi,

I'm still running firmware 2.2.
I'm planning an upgrade to 2.4.
Should I go via an internediate upgrade to 2.3, or directly to 2.4 ?

I'm very scared with those HS upgrades I realize many things depend on the HS (in working condition)
I understand I should first save the "Remanant Speicher", save the project, upgrade from the Experte PC via serial cable, download the project again. Is that correct ?

Any hint would be appreciated.

Hi Warichet!

If you go this way, it should be good in 1-2 Hours

I understand I should first save the "Remanant Speicher", save the project, upgrade from the Experte PC via serial cable, download the project again.

I'm still uncomfortable about the upgrade procedure.

The ReadMe file, at point 2.4 says "install the Experte and import project"
What about the Remanentspeicher ?
When should it be reloaded ? I mean, at which moment in the upgrade process ? The doc doesn't say.

I understand Remanentspeicher sichern is saving from HS to PC disk file
but what is Remanentspeicher hochladen ? is it loading from a backup copy to the current position in the Experte or loading a backup from the PC to the HS ?
This doc is made for people who have already done it 10 times

Remanentspeicher sichern means save The file from The HS to your PC.
Remanentspeicher hochladen means back from the PC to your HS.

If after the update of the FW, everything is ok, so you dont need to "Remanentspeicher hochladen".

Is only for safty... deletet Files are deletet.....

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply

If after the update of the FW, everything is ok, so you dont need to "Remanentspeicher hochladen".

Sorry for the very dumb question ... but how how can I see/make sure everything is OK ?
I've no idea what's in there, any means to check it ? or is it just blind confidence ?

If you have a chart in the visualization, you see it immediately.
You have a lot of remanent-data ?

Ah, OK

You have a lot of remanent-data ?

The filesize on disk is 29K. So, it is not a huge file, but I'd hate to loose it.
I thought things from the UZSU are in there, is that correct ?

[MatthiasS]

Correct.

Scenes, diagrams = archives, remanent iKO

Hi

I finally made it
The upgrade was OK, but I've some minor gliches

1) One of my home written Baustein (13053_Conv_Special_Char.hsl) didn't make it through the upgrade. The message was something like "your Baustein xxx is at fault", no specific details about the type of failure.
It was working fine up to ver. 2.2. I'm not asking to debug my Baustein, but I wonder if something has changed about writing Baustein or using libraries, or syntax change since 2.2 and where I should start searching
It is full of things like
5012|0|""|"__import__('string').replace(SN[1],'\xC3\xA0','à')"|""|0|0|1|0 #133

2) I cannot start the web client via the browser as usual, the syntax has changed
before: http://x.x.x.x/opt/hsav/startgast.htm
now it is http://x.x.x.x/opt/hsav-gira/startgast.htm
I haven't seen it documented in the liesmich_gira_de.txt

3) When I call the client via the Ajax syntax,
http://x.x.x.x/opt/hsav-gira/startgast.htm I get prompted to enter my username, password, although the file startgast.htm contains the right credentials. I'm pretty sure it has already been discussed here, but can't find it back.

Thank you for any hint.

No idea as to what can be the cause ?
I read from a previous post about the 2.4 FirmWare:

Intern: Python von Version 2.2 auf Version 2.4 welches in der Logik wohl diverse Vorteile bringen kann, vor allem bei TCP Timeouts.

So, there is clearly a change about Python !
Am I the only one affected by this change ?

About "diverse Vorteile bringen kann", the only one I can see is that my Baustein doesn't work anymore

Is the module saved in the correct directory? As you know, directories have changed due to Windows 7 in the newest Expert-Versions.

[Warichet]

Hi Michel,

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Is the module saved in the correct directory?

Heuu, I'm confused , didn't think about directories, as I have several of those home-made Baustein, and only one gave a problem.
Also, I got an error message while the upgrade was running, it was something like "module 13053xyz is felerhaft". Usually, it means that there is an error in the Baustein (syntax error), it's not a "file missing". I guess the upgrade process is reading & importing each Baustein, one by one and checking the syntax along the way.

Nevertheless, I checked the 2.4 directory tree, indeed no track of the 13053xyz , which is normal. I remember to have skipped the error pop-up, to allow the upgrade process to continue.

I think I've to edit the Baustein and correct an error, probably a syntax error introduced with the Python upgrade.

I wonder if I'm the only one with this problem (probably the only one messing up with the french character set )

Anyone having a pointer to the Python changelog between 2.2 & 2.4 ? that could be a good starting point for my debug.
I checked this, but no clue

I think this Link is what you need...

[Michel]

Send me or post the code of your "Baustein". I´ll have a look on it.

[Warichet]

I think this Link is what you need

Thank you for the link, but it points to rather new stuff, i.e. it starts at 2.7. I'm trying to figure out the changes between 2.2 & 2.4, most probably between 2.2 & 2.3
