More Information

Problem Details

V7 firmware features a new flash management scheme and some enhanced boot code features. For a full featured upgrade, both firmware and boot code upgrade are thus required.

However, V7 will also run on older boot codes (with one notable exception, see below), so there is no need to update the bootcode immediately when migrating to V7. When V7 bootcode is active, a downgrade to V6 is somewhat more difficult.

Upgrade

To upgrade to Version 7 firmware

  • upgrade to the latest Version 6 firmware
  • for IP110, IP200A and IP230, upgrade to the latest pre-v7 boot code (provided in the v7 build)
  • upgrade to Version 7 firmware

If a boot code upgrade is desired too, proceed and

  • upgrade to the Version 7 boot code provided in the v7 build)
  • upgrade to Version 7 firmware again (this step is not strictly required. However, uploading firmware on v7 boot code is different from uploading with pre-v7 boot code. So if there should be any issues with it you might want to experience them when you do the overall upgrade rather then sometime later on)

Downgrade

If you still run the pre-v7 bootcode, you can safely downgrade to your old Version 6 firmware. If you have the v7 boot code installed though, it is recommended to first do a factory reset, then downgrade to the latest Version 6 firmware, then upload your saved v6 config.

Known Problems

Version 7 firmware will not boot on IP110, IP200A and IP230 with old pre-v7 boot codes. Upgrade to the latest pre-v6 boot code (provided in the v7 build).
