Upgrading Firmware
Upgrading ROS firmware, including the main, bootloader and FPGA firmware, may be necessary to take
advantage of new features or bug fixes. Binary firmware images are available from RuggedCom. Visit
to see which versions/updates are available or contact RuggedCom support.
Binary firmware images transferred to the device are stored in non-volatile Flash memory and require a device
reset in order to take effect.

the image. For more information about uploading files, refer to
