If your workstation has multiple CD-ROM drives, the drive containing the DKU CD may
not be mapped as
/mnt/cdrom
. You can use any mapped CD-ROM drive for this procedure by
using the appropriate mount point for the CD-ROM drive in your workstation in these steps.
4. Go to the AJA_firmwareUpdate directory on the DKU CD. Type:
cd /mnt/cdrom/Utils/AJA_firmwareUpdate
5. Run the AJAfw_update utility to scan the AJA current firmware and, if required, update to
the latest firmware version. Type:
./AJAfw_update
The script checks the firmware of your AJA board, and one of the following events occurs:
• The script detects that the firmware and drivers need to be updated and prompts you to
start the update. In this case, continue to the next step of this procedure.
• The script indicates that the firmware is up-to-date and exits. In this case, you are finished;
go to step 7 of this procedure to eject the DKU CD.

For more details about the AJA firmware procedures, consult the
README
file located in
the current directory.
6. Start the firmware update by typing Y and then pressing ENTER.
While the AJA board’s firmware and drivers are being updated, your workstation appears to
be frozen and your mouse and keyboard do not work. This is normal and indicates that the
firmware is being updated. Once the firmware update is complete, you are returned to the
terminal.
7. When you are returned to the terminal, return to the root directory and eject the DKU CD
from the CD-ROM drive by typing the following commands:
cd /
eject /mnt/cdrom
8. Shut down your Linux workstation by typing:
shutdown -g0
