Upgrade Instructions – Kernel & Firmware​

Important

Coming from version 10.0, first upgrade the kernel to version 10.1.
After the kernel is upgraded, upload firmware 10.1 to the device.

Upgrade Instructions – Toolbox Project​

As no major changes are introduced in Toolbox version 10.1, upgrading from version 10.0 to 10.1 should work by opening the existing project file within Toolbox 10.1 and checking if any messages are issued.

For a seamless transition, plan enough spare time to convert your Toolbox project.

First of all, you need to have your Toolbox working at the latest Toolbox v10.0.x.
If this condition is fulfilled, open your .dp10 project file with Toolbox v10.1.x.

Important

We strongly recommend keeping a copy of the original v10.0.x (.dp10) project file.

Note

Enabling Apps and User Rights is now done using WebApps, replacing Toolbox.
If you are using WebApps, you must re-enable them after upgrading on every core
via System App → Service → Manage Apps and User Rights.

Note

Multicast Logic Exchange configuration is now done using WebApps.
If you are using this feature, configure it after upgrading on every core
via System App → Network → Manage Services → DHD Logic Exchange.

You may receive some WARNING messages in the Messages Section.
Those messages inform you if your Toolbox project uses unsupported hardware, if problems occurred,
or if adjustments were made during project conversion.
Double-clicking the message leads you to the relevant hardware module or configuration part.
