USB and SD port

An A-size USB port is situated on the front panel. The port is exclusively used for data transfer and firmware
updates.  The  customer  can  also  easily  update  the  firmware.  The  SD  port  is  only  used  when  a  Flarm  is
connected  (Flarm  Red  Box,  Swiss  Flarm  and  optionally  Flarm  Mini  Box).  The  SD  port  makes  direct
communication  with  Flarm  possible,  which  means  downloading  of  flights  stored  in  Flarm,  uploading  of
declaration and also Flarm updating.
