Updating the firmware
For the Kvaser Hybrid CAN/LIN to communicate with the host computer, compatible
versions of the Kvaser CANlib (including driver) and firmware must be installed.
The latest versions of firmware and drivers can be downloaded for free at
www.kvaser.com/download.
Connect the Kvaser Hybrid CAN/LIN to your PC with the USB cable and start the
update.exe application. A window opens showing the Firmware Update
Instructions, read and follow those carefully.
To check the current firmware version, open “Kvaser Device Guide” which can be
found in the Control Panel. Select “Kvaser Hybrid CAN/LIN” in the tree view to the
left, and click on the channel. The firmware revision information now appears in the
right half of the window.
