These instructions apply to all GX Devices, such as the Color Control GX (CCGX) and Venus GX (VGX).

The change log is available in Victron Professional.

Depending on the installed firmware version, the update procedure differs.

Running firmware version v1.74 or earlier? An upgrade is needed. Follow the upgrade procedure to v2.

Otherwise follow instructions below.

There are two ways to update the firmware:

1. Update it via the internet, either manually or let it check for new updates every day
2. Update it from a microSD-card or USB-stick

To update from the internet, navigate to: Settings→ Firmware→Online updates.

Updating with a microSD-card or USB-stick is called 'Offline updating'. Use it when updating a device that is not connected to the internet.

Get the latest swu file:

• CCGX: venus-swu.ccgx.swu
• Venus GX: venus-swu-beaglebone.swu

Store the file in the root folder of a USB-stick or microSD-card.

Note that you will see a warning “Not using media for storing logs”. That warning can safely be ignored.

• Navigate to Settings → Firmware → Offline updates.
• Press Check for updates
• If the firmware in the microSD-card or USB-stick is newer than the running one, “Update available” item will appear, press it to start the update process.
