Update radio firmware library

Digi periodically releases new versions of the radio firmware to fix issues, improve functionality, or add new features. These firmware files might not be included with XCTU and need to be added to the radio firmware library. Also, new RF products may be launched in the market that require new radio firmware to be configured with XCTU. For this reason, XCTU can update the radio firmware library from the application itself.

You can configure XCTU so the firmware is automatically updated. For more information, see XCTU preferences. To manually update the radio firmware library:

1. Select Help > Update Radio Firmware Library option.

   

2. Do one of the following:
   • To look for new radio firmware inside Digi's update site, select Look for and install new firmware.

   • To install legacy radio firmware, select Install legacy firmware package.

   • To install a local radio firmware file, select Install firmware from file and specify the path where the file is located.

   

3. Click OK to start. A dialog displays the status of the download process.

4. You can click the Run in background button of the progress dialog to execute this process in the background. This allows you to keep working with XCTU while the new firmware is downloaded. The status bar displays the update process.

   When the process finishes, a dialog displays the list of downloaded firmware.

   Note Downloading the firmware does not automatically update attached modules.
