4.8 DATALOGIC FIRMWARE UTILITY
Datalogic devices are equipped with a field upgradeable firmware mechanism.
Firmware updates are available on the Datalogic Mobile website
(
). After you have downloaded the desired update,
there are several ways you can update the firmware on your device.
Use Wavelink Avalanche™ if you have multiple Datalogic Mobile devices to
update. Refer to the Product CD included with your device for more
information.
If Wavelink Avalanche™ is not available or you have only a few Datalogic
Mobile devices to update, use the Datalogic Firmware Utility (DFU), described
below, to install or update the firmware using an ActiveSync connection.
DFU can also be used to restore the firmware onto a device that has become
corrupted (see par. 4.8.4).
The following sections provide procedures for the retrieval and installation of the
most current firmware image onto a Datalogic device.
