Last updated 1 year ago

CeruleanTracker can locate, download, and install newer versions of firmware for DVL and ROVL devices if connected to a device and to the internet. This capability is activated by opening the device's command window and clicking the "Check for Firmware Updates" button, as shown below.

Upon clicking the button, the firmware updater screen is shown (see below).

The Firmware Updater window. (1) If connected to the internet, the most recent firmware files for the selected device. (2) BUttons allow you to browse for firmware files on your PC to use instead of automatically selected files, or if you are offline and files cannot be automatically selected. (3) The type of device selected. If the device type can be selected automatically, the selection cannot be changed. This shows a DVL is selected. (4) If the installed firmware can be identified, the date of it and the firmware file in (1) are shown. The system will also recommend whether or not to install the new firmware. (5) Radio button allow you to override the system recommendations. (6) If an secondary or coprocessor is used in this device, this panel is analogous to (4) and (5).
