1. Preparation

1. Preparation

  1. The CAT-DEV must be set to Development Mode before performing the update.
    1. In the System Config Tool (on your CAT-DEV), go to Boot Configuration.
    2. Set System Mode to Development Mode (if it is not already set to Development Mode).
  2. The CAT-DEV and PC must be in PCFS mode. This is the default setting. You can verify it by opening cafex_env.bat and reading the output. CAFE_BOOT_MODE should be PCFS.

    If it is not, see the setbootmode.bat section in your Cafe SDK documentation on how to change it back.
  3. Using the package description for the Unity version you will use, see what versions of the Cafe SDK and Green Hills MULTI software you will need. You can find the package description on the Downloads page.

  4. Install the Cafe SDK and/or Green Hills MULTI software on your PC. If you are using NDI to download and install these packages, the installation can be handled for you. If you are installing manually, unzip the SDK into a clean directory, and set CAFE_ROOT to point to this new directory. Also be sure GHS_ROOT points to the latest installation of GHS MULTI.

    Warning

    Do not install the SDK on top of a previous release unless directly specified to. SDK releases are intended as standalone releases unless specified.

  5. Check which version of the Host Bridge Software your CAT-DEV is using.

    1. In cafex_env.bat, enter the command "hostdisplayversion" (without quotes).

    2. The 'Bridge PC Tools' line represents the version of the software installed on the PC, while the 'Bridge Firmware' line represents the firmware version installed on the CAT-DEV itself.

  6. You can find the latest version of the Host Bridge Software on the Downloads page.If you are not using the latest version, you will need to install that as well. Instruction are on 4. Updating the Host Bridge

    Info

    Typically, using the latest release of the Host Bridge Software is supported even on older SDKs. If you need to downgrade your SDK, it is probably not necessary to downgrade the Host Bridge Software as well.
