7.3 Downloading Firmware Files

To proceed with an update or possibly an upgrade, obtain the latest version of firmware by down-
loading the firmware file for your product from

www.novatel.com/support/firmware-

downloads/

.

7.3.1 Format of Firmware Files

All of the firmware available on the downloads website are packaged in .zip files with the fol-
lowing name:

l

2XXXX Firmware.zip for firmware to be installed on SMART2 receivers

For convenience, unzip the update file to a GNSS sub-directory (for example,
C:\GNSS\LOADER). If the firmware update file is password protected, NovAtel Customer Sup-
port provides the required password.

The zip archive includes the following files:

7.4 Updating or Upgrading Using the WinLoad Utility

WinLoad is a utility used to update or upgrade a SMART2. To use WinLoad, the receiver must be
connected to the computer running WinLoad using a serial port (COM port) connection.

7.4.1 Using the WinLoad Utility

If opening WinLoad for the first time, ensure the file and communications settings are correct.

Open a File to Download

Select File | File Open. Navigate to the file to open (
