AdditionalInformation

Thisdocumentdescribestheupdateprocesswitha“SimpleUpdateCard”.Therearefour
versionsofthiscard:VisionII,VisionIII,SunMoverSamyV1andSunMoverSamyV2.

OnthecardsisaspecialvariantoftheEEPfile.Thisleavestheindividualusersettingsofthe
systemobtained.

It is possible that the SD-card causes a reset after insertion (depending on the
hardware version of the control unit). In this case the box initiates a reconnect and
continues normally.

ThecheckofacardcantakelongerifthecardisdamagedelectricallyPleasebepatient!

Aslongastheprogrammingisnotactive,thecardcanberemovedatanytime.

It is also possible to send the update data via e-mail (self-extracting archive file that
will be unpacked on a card).
In this case, the used SD-card should be formatted with FAT32. This ensures that only
reasonable cards can be used (older SD cards or MMCs may work, but they are out of
specification. The same is true for SDHC cards).
