4.2.1 Firmware overview

Firmware description
The device firmware (FW) consists of board and processor component specific binary
files, that are loaded on various system board locations.
NOTICE! The device Firmware versions can be found under the System info on
the Settings menu on the GUI.
The device components communicate via CAN buses and other interfaces.
The FW system is split into four main areas:
1. Real time operations
2. Image data capturing
3. General functions
4. GUI client
The main control functions are located in different parts of the system:
