●
You must create a valid project under the hardware configuration and upload it to the
CPU before you can update the firmware of the communications processor with the
programming interface

The instructions accompanying the firmware update always detail the destination
directories for the files.
The "..\CP440.nnn" path always identifies the firmware version.
