6.3 Upgrading From Version 1.x Firmware

Before you can upgrade a 1.xx through 2.0b7 GadgetGateway to version 2.25 firmware
version, you must use the 1.xx to 2.xx migration tool to upgrade to the new bootloader.
Once the new bootloader is installed, the 2.25 firmware can be loaded in the same manner
as previous firmware upgrades (documented in the previous section of this manual).
For information on how to upgrade your GadgetGateway bootloader from version 1.xx to
2.xx, see the documentation included with the 1.xx to 2.xx migration tool.
Note: Because of a problem with the data format of the 1.01 firmware version, upgrading
from version 1.01 to 2.xx will corrupt the second Node ID. As a work-around, upgrade to
version 1.07 and follow the instructions about fixing the Node ID. Once you have suc-
cessfully upgraded to 1.07 you can then upgrade to version 2.xx.
The firmware version of your current GadgetGateway is listed in both the Web and serial
interface.
Note: Currently a 2.xx GadgetGateway cannot be reverted back to a 1.xx GadgetGateway
by a customer.
Note: If for some reason the MAC address or Node IDs the GadgetGateway are lost dur-
ing the firmware upgrade process refer to (Section 6.4) for instructions on how to restore
them.
