Upgrade

Location: slsDetectorPackage/serverBin/ folder for every release.

For Mythen3, Gotthard2 and Eiger, you need to add scripts to automatically start detector server upon power on. See Automatic start<Automatic start servers> for more details.

Eiger requires a manual reboot. Or killall the servers and restart the new linked one. If you are in the process of updating firmware, then don't reboot yet.

6.1.1+ (no tftp required)

1. Program from console

   # the following command copies new server, creates a soft link to xxxDetectorServerxxx
   # [Jungfrau][CTB][Moench] also deletes the old server binary and edits initttab to respawn server on reboot
   # Then, the detector controller will reboot (except Eiger)
   sls_detector_put updatedetectorserver /complete-path-to-binary/xxxDetectorServerxxx

2. Copy the detector server specific config files or any others required to the detector:

   sls_detector_put execcommand "tftp pcxxx -r configxxx -g"

5.0.0 - 6.1.1

1. Install tftp and copy detector server binary to tftp folder

2. Program from console

   # the following command copies new server from pc tftp folder, creates a soft link to xxxDetectorServerxxx
   # [Jungfrau][CTB][Moench] also edits initttab to respawn server on reboot
   # Then, the detector controller will reboot (except Eiger)
   sls_detector_put copydetectorserver xxxDetectorServerxxx pcxxx

3. Copy the detector server specific config files or any others required to the detector:

   sls_detector_put execcommand "tftp pcxxx -r configxxx -g"

Troubleshooting with tftp

1. tftp write error: There is no space left. Please delete some old binaries and try again.
2. text file busy: You are trying to copy the same server.
