- | There are two ways to update | + | These instructions have been moved to the manuals: |
- | - Update it via the internet, either manually or let it check for new updates every day | + | |
- | - Update it from an microSD-card or USB-stick | + | |
- | ===== 1. Internet ===== | + | [[https:// |
- | To update from the internet, go to the Settings menu, and then Firmware. | + | [[https:// |
- | ===== 2. microSD-card or USB-stick ===== | + | [[https:// |
- | Follow the instructions below to update a Color Control that is not connected to the internet. Or to recover a Color Control that is not working anymore. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== 2.1 Download ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Get the latest zip file from this list: | ||
- | |||

- | The details changelog, including possible limitations and known issues, is available in [[https:// | ||

- | |||
- | ==== 2.2. Note on USB-sticks ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Not all sticks work yet, unfortunately. If the Color Control display shows just solid blue after rebooting, and nothing happens after that, you most probably have a USB-stick that does not work. Try to find another one that does work. Or use a microSD-card, | ||
- | |||
- | ==== 2.3. Prepare microSD-card or USB stick ==== | ||
- | |||
- | * Make sure it is formatted with FAT or FAT32. Nothing else, also no exFAT. | ||
- | * Extract all files from the zip file in to the root-folder of the microSD or USB-stick. | ||
- | * Use the Windows Safely remove device function {{: | ||
- | |||
- | ==== 2.4 Place the microSD-card or USB-stick in the Color Control ==== | ||
- | |||
- | {{ : | ||
- | |||
- | ==== 2.5 Make sure VE.Direct port 1 is not connected to a product ==== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== 2.6 Reboot the Color Control and force it into update mode. ==== | ||
- | |||
- | There are two ways to do this: | ||
- | |||
- | === 1. Via the reboot option in the settings menu: === | ||
- | |||
- | * Find Reboot in the setup menu (Settings -> General -> Reboot) | ||
- | |||
- | * Initiate restart. Press and hold button E as soon as you see the text ‘Rebooting’. | ||
- | |||
- | === 2. With a hard reboot: | ||
- | |||
- | * Press and hold button E | ||
- | |||
- | * Then press buttons A and B at the same time and release them again, while holding button E | ||
- | |||
- | ==== 2.7 Wait until the screen is black and you see white text: ‘Programming’ ==== | ||
- | |||
- | {{ : | ||
- | |||
- | ==== 2.8 Release button E and follow onscreen instructions ==== | ||
- | |||
- | This is the text shown during programming: | ||

- | |||
- | ==== 2.9 Common problems ==== | ||
- | |||
- | === 2.9.1 The screen stays solid blue (no Victron logo) after the reboot === | ||
- | |||
- | There are three things that could be the problem: | ||
- | - There is still a BMV or other VE.Direct product connected to VE.Direct port 1, disconnect it before the reboot. | ||
- | - There is a problem with finding the new firmware on the microSD or USB. Double check its contents and formatting format (FAT or FAT32). NTFS disk format is not supported. | ||
- | - The USB-stick hardware is not supported, try your luck with another stick or use a microSD-card. | ||
- | |||
- | === 2.9.2 Error message ' | ||
- | In this case the sd card or usb-stick is properly loaded, and the update script on the stick is being executed: no need to try another stick or card! | ||
- | |||
- | To solve: make sure that you have copied all files from the zip file onto the card or usb stick. And make sure to use the Eject function in Windows: ubi.img os the largest file and might take some time to get properly written. | ||
