Hello everybody,
There is a
new version of BDC-COMM on the
Jaguar Microsite. The current version is now version 88.
There is no update to the Jaguar Firmware, both are still 87.
The new version of BDC-COMM has an added feature to recover a "bricked" Jaguar. The cause for this is flashing the wrong firmware; (Gray) Jaguar firmware on a Black Jaguar and vice-versa.
So, your Jaguar LED does not light up when you give it power after a firmware update... here is what you do:
1) Make sure that the messed up Jaguar is the only messed up one on the network.
2) If you've messed up a Black Jaguar, connect it to the computer with your RS232 cable. If you've messed up a Gray Jaguar, use a working Black Jaguar to connect to the computer, and connect the non working Gray Jaguar to that working Black Jaguar.
3) Power on the Jaguar(s).
4) Open bdc-comm-88.exe. It should automatically connect and enumerate any working Jaguars on the network. If there are none, don't worry.
5) Go to File->Recover Device and select the correct firmware. Be sure to read the warning!
6) Click Update. If all goes well, your Jaguar should start blinking after the update.
Please spread the word about the new version.
Good luck!
