Uploading the Sensor Firmware

When preparing the sensor for the first time, you need to upload firmware and application files into it.

About this task

You need to have the following files:
  • a firmware file (*.A2F): it is the firmware of the sensor,
  • an application file (*.A2A): it defines the sensor features and options.
Afterward, when new improved versions of firmware are released, you only have to upload the firmware file. If you need to change the options of the sensor (for example: pitch & roll, temperature), only upload the application file.

Downloading the Firmware and Application Files

Note: Marport offices only. Only Marport offices can download new versions of firmware. Dealerships need to ask their local Marport office to get the firmware.
