10. Firmware updates
The GlobalLink 520 can automatically check and update its firmware to the official release or beta release, depending on the setting. Auto-update settings can be changed or disabled via the Settings menu in VictronConnect or the Device list on the VRM portal.
Open the VictronConnect app and tap on the GlobalLink 520 from within the Device list.
After successfully connecting, tap on the cog wheel icon in the top right-hand corner to open the Settings menu.
Tap on the Auto-update selection menu. There are 3 options to choose from:
Disabled: disables Auto-update
Official release: Only official release firmware versions will be installed (automatically)
Beta release: Installs (automatically) latest beta firmware version if it is newer than the previous beta or official release version
If a new firmware update is available, the unit starts updating and the LED will blink purple. This can take up to 10 minutes. Do not turn off the device even if the LED stops blinking for a while, so as not to interrupt the update process.
