CCGX: Upgrading to v2.00

Unlike previous updates, v2.00 can not be installed from the internet. Instead it needs a one time
manual upgrade. After this, future updates can be installed automatically from the internet again.
A microSD card is needed. It is not possible to use an USB stick.

The upgrade procedure:

1. Download venus-upgrade-image-ccgx.zip
2. Unzip it, and put its contents on a microSD card. The card needs to be formatted with either a
FAT or FAT32 file system.
3. Click 'Safely remove hardware' or another eject function on your computer.
4. Take the card out
5. Insert the card into the Ccgx
6. Press and hold (!) button E
7. Shortly press A and B at the same time (still hold button E!)
8. The screen will now briefly switch off, then turn solid blue and show 'prepare update'
9. Release button E
10. Next you'll see the update progressing, all kinds of technical details flying by.
11. After approximately 2 minutes, you'll see "Remove SD/USB medium and reset system"
12. So, remove the card, and press buttons A and B again to reboot.
Upgrade complete already! But make sure to double check a few things:
All settings in the connected devices (Multis, BMV, Solar Charger etcetera) won't be affected.
Also all settings in the ccgx won't be affected. But still it is good to double check that.
Especially double check wifi and/or ethernet passwords and IP configuration.
For developers and people that customize the ccgx, make sure to
v2.00 upgrade.
