Introduction

This article is based on the software 2.14.5 or higher.

There are 2 methods to start the firmware update / downgrade via provisioning.

  1. Provisioning Version 1.0 where multiple files are used.
  2. Provisioning Version 1.1 where all settings are in one file.

From software 2.14.5 we have implemented a new parameter to automatic automatically upgrade your phone when new software is available, or do not upgrade.

SettingComment
Automatic check for updates: No (Default)We disabled the automatic check because the customer should decide to use new software yes or no.
Automatic check for updates: YesIf enabled then if new software is available, the device will start the update.

<file version="2.14.5" url="http://192.168.178.200/firmware/maxwell3/GC_MAX_2.14.5-release.bin"/>

</firmware>
