loaded with the required firmware and/or application configuration.

The user will need to ensure that the SD Card has been formatted for

All needed files must be copied into the root directory of the SD Card.
Firmware
The user can copy the required firmware (which can be downloaded from
) onto the root directory of the SD Card.

– SD Card – Firmware file
NOTE:
If more than one firmware file, with different firmware revisions, is on the
SD Card, it can cause the module to constantly firmware upgrade the module.
If a faulty module is replaced the user can insert the SD Card with the firmware file on into the
new module. While the module is booting it can detect if the firmware on the new module is
different from that on the SD Card. If yes, the firmware will either be upgraded or downgraded
to the firmware revision on the SD Card.
