34.3.2 LRU Software Loading Procedure
G3X LRUs (except for GDU displays) connected via the CAN network will automatically receive software
updates from the PFD1 display following a GDU software update. Progress of LRU software updates can
be monitored using the System Information page. Functionality provided by an LRU will be unavailable
during a software update, therefore all LRU software updates should be allowed to complete before flight
after a GDU software update. The current LRU software versions included with a GDU software update
can be found in the change notes on the software download page.
Problems loading LRU software updates are typically related to CAN network issues. See
Section 2.3.1.3.6 for CAN bus troubleshooting guidance.
