-====== CCGX: Updating firmware (pre v2.00) ====== 
- 
-===== Newer information available ===== 
-Note that this pages describes an old procedure. See [[:ccgx:firmware_updating|here]] for the latest information. 
- 
-===== Intro ===== 
- 
-There are two ways to update the firmware of a CCGX: 
-  - Update it via the internet, either manually or let it check for new updates every day 
-  - Update it from an microSD-card or USB-stick 
- 
-===== 1. Internet ===== 
- 
-To update from the internet, go to the Settings menu, and then Firmware. 
- 
-===== 2. microSD-card or USB-stick ===== 
- 
-Follow the instructions below to update a Color Control that is not connected to the internet. Or to recover a Color Control that is not working anymore. 
- 
-====  2.1 Download ==== 
- 
-Get the latest zip file from this list: 
- 
-[[http://updates.victronenergy.com/feeds/ccgx/images/]] 
- 
-The details changelog, including possible limitations and known issues, is available in [[https://professional.victronenergy.com|Victron Professional]].

- 
-====  2.2. Note on USB-sticks ==== 
- 
-Not all sticks work yet, unfortunately. If the Color Control display shows just solid blue after rebooting, and nothing happens after that, you most probably have a USB-stick that does not work. Try to find another one that does work. Or use a microSD-card, as they always work. 
- 
-====  2.3. Prepare microSD-card or USB stick ==== 
- 
-    * Make sure it is formatted with FAT or FAT32. Nothing else, also no exFAT. 
-    * Extract all files from the zip file in to the root-folder of the microSD or USB-stick. 
-    * Use the Windows Safely remove device function {{:ccgx:safe.jpg}} before taking the microSD or USB-stick out of the computer. On Linux and Apple this is called Eject. 
- 
-==== 2.4 Place the microSD-card or USB-stick in the Color Control ====

- 
-==== 2.5 Make sure VE.Direct port 1 is not connected to a product ==== 
- 
-==== 2.6 Reboot the Color Control and force it into update mode.  ==== 
- 
-There are two ways to do this: 
- 
-=== 1. Via the reboot option in the settings menu: === 
- 
-  * Find Reboot in the setup menu (Settings -> General -> Reboot) 
- 
-  * Initiate restart. Press and hold button E as soon as you see the text ‘Rebooting’. 
- 
-=== 2. With a hard reboot:  === 
- 
-  * Press and hold button E 
- 
-  * Then press buttons A and B at the same time and release them again, while holding button E 
- 
-==== 2.7 Wait until the screen is black and you see white text: ‘Programming’ ==== 
- 
-{{ :ccgx:reboot.png |}} 
- 
-==== 2.8 Release button E and follow onscreen instructions ==== 
- 
-This is the text shown during programming: 
- 
-{{ :ccgx:screen_text.png |}} 
- 
-==== 2.9 Common problems ==== 
- 
-=== 2.9.1 The screen stays solid blue (no Victron logo) after the reboot === 
- 
-There are three things that could be the problem: 
-  - There is still a BMV or other VE.Direct product connected to VE.Direct port 1, disconnect it before the reboot. 
-  - There is a problem with finding the new firmware on the microSD or USB. Double check its contents and formatting format (FAT or FAT32). NTFS disk format is not supported. 
-  - The USB-stick hardware is not supported, try your luck with another stick or use a microSD-card. 
- 
-=== 2.9.2 Error message 'error: the file ubi.img is missing' is shown === 
-In this case the sd card or usb-stick is properly loaded, and the update script on the stick is being executed: no need to try another stick or card!  
- 
-To solve: make sure that you have copied all files from the zip file onto the card or usb stick. And make sure to use the Eject function in Windows: ubi.img os the largest file and might take some time to get properly written.
