Firmware explorer tool
The Firmware explorer tool allows you to navigate through XCTU's firmware library to review available firmware versions and their settings, without having a radio module attached to your computer. It also lets you save and load firmware profiles.
To open the Firmware explorer tool, select Firmware explorer from the Tools drop-down menu on the main XCTU toolbar.
Firmware explorer dialog
Use the Firmware explorer dialog to review available firmware versions and their settings. For instructions, see Inspect a firmware version.
Firmware selection panel
The firmware selection panel allows you to specify the firmware to be loaded. To display the settings of a specific radio firmware, specify the firmware family, function, and version from the corresponding lists.
Note The firmware selection panel does not flash the firmware on a module. It loads the firmware in the dialog so you can view its settings.
