among Densité card firmware versions. From time to time, new versions become available,
and Densité Upgrade Manager allows you to upload these.
Firmware and software is bundled into single upgrade packages. That is, a package contains
one version of firmware for a given Densité card and one version of software. By upgrading a
card with a given package, you are changing both the installed firmware and software to
those versions of each within the upgrade package.
IMPORTANT: System behavior
The Densité Upgrade Manager included with any version of iControl Solo
(starting with version 6.00), supports all Densité card types, including those that
do not yet exist.
For example, if a brand new Densité card, ABC-1234, is installed in a Densité frame
visible to a version of iControl Solo that is, at the time, three years-old (but still
version 6.00 or greater), the ABC-1234 card would be visible within Densité
Upgrade Manager.
IMPORTANT: The version numbering of packages represents a system of incrementation
belonging ONLY to the package and not to the respective version numbering of
firmware and software.
Note: Densité Upgrade Manager does not allow you to upgrade, downgrade, or
roll back firmware separately from software. Changing an installed package
necessarily implies changing the component firmware AND software to those
versions of each embedded within the introduced package.
