Software Package
6.1
Versioning of the software
The range of software version for the 8234/8254 is from v4x.85 to v49.88. It is complemented by the 4 last
digits which corresponds to the build version bbbb.
x is incremented from 0 to 9 (from v40.85 to v49.85) before incrementing the two last digits from 85 to 86
(jump from v49.85 to v40.86) and so on… From v40.86 to v49.86, then v40.87.
It means for example that the software version v41.85 is older than a v40.86 although the number is higher.
That can be confusing.
