Updating the MFD15 Gen2
The MFD15 Gen2 can be updated wirelessly or via WLAN from the oDSS, or via USB cable with the
CANchecked MFD15Gen2Updater.
5.1
5.1 Online update from the oDSS
The Update Device section of the oDSS is used to upload new firmware and file systems.
The firmware is the operating system of your data display, and the file system contains new TRI files.
The .bin files for over-the-air updates can be found at
https://www.canchecked.de/downloads/downloads-mfd15-mfa20-gen2/
To update from the oDSS, press the Start Update button and select the appropriate .bin file. The
update starts, the bar runs through, and the display then reboots automatically. Afterwards, the
WLAN must be reactivated and the connection to the hotspot must be re-established for further
configuration.

Wired update via USB
The MFD15 Gen2 has a microUSB port on the circuit board. To access this, the MFD15 must be
disassembled. It is easier to connect the MFD15 Gen2 to a PC via the six-pin Molex connector B. The
TTL adapter from the Gen1 does not work here! If your kit does not come with a Molex USB
connector, you can pin it yourself with this pinout:

Of course, you can also build the USB cable yourself, if you have the possibility to crimp the Molex
contacts yourself. Once you have stripped your USB data cable so far, the individual wires must be
professionally crimped and pinned into the six-pin Molex connector as follows:
