8900NET Software to Part Number Guide
The latest version of 8900NET software, version 4.4.0, has limitations on
what printed circuit boards it can be used on. This is due to changes made
for RoHS compliant and obsolete parts used on the 771- circuit boards.
Functionality is the same for both software versions 4.3.0 and 4.4.0. The
release of the latest 8900NET software 4.4.0 was necessary to meet the
requirements for the 771-0121-XX circuit board updates.
for an overview of what software can be installed on dif-
ferent 8900NET module part numbers.
Note
For optimal operation of 8900 Gecko and GeckoFlex modules, 8900NET
modules should be running either 4.3.0 or 4.4.0 software.
