We strongly recommend to do a firmware update only if needed. There is a potential risk of a failed
update process to cause a dead device which can only be recovered by sending it to Avisaro service.
Good reason for an update is a known bug repair or an additional feature.

There are three ways to update the firmware of the Avisaro 4.0 family:

1) Via USB Stick

If the Avisaro 4.0 product has a USB Host port, a new firmware can be uploaded using a USB
stick. See details below.

2) Via PC Companion software

If the Avisaro 4.0 product is connected to a PC via USB cable, the firmware can be updated
using the PC companion software. See details below.

3) Via Remote Update

For selected products, a remote firmware update via FTP server / Internet is provided.
See paragraph “

Remote Firmware Update

 for details.

The latest firmware version can be found online:

Instructions:

Download the latest version of the firmware from the link posted above

Unpack the *.zip file to retrieve the “avi40up.bin” file

Copy the file onto a USB stick in the root directory

Power up the Avisaro data logger

Insert the USB stick

After a few seconds, the LED flashes red (the firmware is loaded)

After about 30 seconds, the LED flashes white (critical update phase, to not
interrupt)

The logger reboots and starts again to show a green LED

The firmware update file is deleted from the USB stick when finished - this is to avoid
accidentally a restart of the process.

Done !
