Upgrading the CompactFlash Card's bootloader

Upgrading the D410 may also make it necessary to upgrade the boot loader of the
CompactFlash card.
Detailed information on the CompactFlash Card, boot loader version, SIMOTION D410
hardware, and SIMOTION firmware version compatibility relationships can be found in the
software compatibility list. You can find this list both in the documentation that comes with the
SIMOTION SCOUT DVD under \1_Important\German\Kompatibilitaet\... and on the Internet
under the following Internet address

Update - preparatory measures

Upgrading SIMOTION D410
The actions described in this section also apply to downgrading to an older version.
Various options are available for performing a firmware and/or project update on the
SIMOTION D410.
● Update via CF card (Page 191)
● Update via SIMOTION IT web server (Page 187)
● Upgrade via device update tool (upgrading SIMOTION devices) (Page 188)
The SIMOTION D410 only supports upgrading using the web server or device update tool with
version V4.1 SP2 and higher.
Note
Upgrading using the device update tool offers a number of advantages (keeping retain data,
option of downgrading, no license key handling, etc.).
We therefore recommend using this method for firmware and/or project updates.
