Firmware Management

The Application management page shows the device firmware slots and the available firmware catalog.

Refresh Slots

1. Open Application management.
2. Click Refresh.
3. Check the Installed applications on device area, which lists installed firmware.

A slot can be shown as:

• Running: the firmware currently running on the device.
• Empty: no firmware is installed in this slot.
• Disabled: this slot is not available.

Install Or Replace Firmware

1. Select an available firmware slot in Installed applications on device.
2. Click Change/update app.
3. In the dialog, choose the target firmware release and firmware card.
4. Confirm the selection and return to Application management.
5. Review the pending changes, then click Apply changes.
6. Wait for the update to finish and reconnect the device if it re-enumerates.

WARNING

Do not unplug the device or close the tool while a firmware update is running. The device may disconnect and enumerate again after the update; this is expected.

Update Installed Firmware

If the local firmware release contains newer versions for the firmware already installed on the device, use Update installed apps:

1. Connect the device and refresh the slot list.
2. Select the target firmware package version in Application Catalog.
3. Click Update installed apps.
4. The tool prepares the pending updates that are valid for the device.
5. Click Apply changes, wait for the device to restart, and reconnect.

If the tool reports that the updatable slots are not contiguous, update the slots one by one as prompted.

Run Or Uninstall Firmware

• Run app: switches the device to the firmware in the selected slot. The device may re-enumerate and require reconnecting.
• Uninstall: removes the firmware from the selected slot.
• Uninstall all apps: removes all maintenance-safe firmware entries. The device skips the currently running firmware.

Refresh the slot list after uninstalling firmware.

Firmware Catalog And Release Updates

Application Catalog displays available firmware releases, firmware cards, and install status:

• Installable: this firmware can be installed on the current device.
• Not applicable: this firmware does not match the current device or state.
• Check required: read device information before the tool can decide.

If no local firmware release is available, the tool attempts to download the latest release. You can also click Check update or Re-download in the firmware release update area.

Device Operations

Mode Switch

On the Device page, if the connected device supports multiple modes, choose a target mode in the Mode switch area and click Switch mode. The device may re-enumerate after switching; reconnect it when prompted.

Termination Resistor

Some hardware supports software-controlled termination resistors. Confirm that the current hardware supports this feature before changing settings:

1. Open the Device page and find Termination resistor.
2. Click Refresh status.
3. Adjust the channel settings according to the bus wiring.
4. Click Apply settings.

Do not use this feature on hardware that does not support controllable termination resistors.

Enter Upgrade Mode

Clicking Enter upgrade disconnects the current session and enumerates the device as an update drive. Use this only for update or recovery workflows, and make sure no communication or update task is running.
