2.5.6.4. Firmware update
For proper operation of the payload, please make sure the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV, the
CTR and the touchscreen tablet are updated to the latest available version. Download
the Intel Falcon 8+ UAS firmware from http://intel.com/FalconDownloads and install it
as described in "Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAS firmware updates" on page 193.
The payload also contains updateable firmware. To update the payload firmware of the
Intel® Imaging Payload you need to install the Intel Platform Flash Tool (PFT) Lite on a
PC.
The currently installed firmware version of the payload can be checked by tapping on
the "i" INFO button in the lower left corner on the touchscreen tablet.
For updating the payload firmware by the PFT you need:
• Intel Falcon 8+ UAV, with the payload attached. The UAV must be powered OFF
in the beginning of the update process.
• PC for running the Intel Platform Flash Tool (PFT) Lite
• USB type C to USB type A cable for connecting the payload to the computer (not
supplied)
Pre-instructions for upgrading the payload firmware:

detailed instructions and supported operating systems.
