| - | In some cases, you will see a red triangle next to the **Runtime version**. This means the runtime is older than the IDE expects. To fix this problem, follow the [[en:sw:01-mervis:updating-a-runtime-hidden|Updating runtime (RT)]] tutorial. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you see a small skull next to the **Runtime version**, the controller's operating system is outdated and you need to upload a current version of Mervis OS. The guide for uploading Mervis OS for [[en:hw:007-patron:image|Patron]], [[en:sw:01-mervis:deploying-mervis-os-hidden|Neuron & 1.1/Lite]] and [[en:hw:01-axon:image|Axon]] | ||

| - | The last dialogue of the controller attaching process asks you about configuration download. The configuration holds basic settings of the Unipi controller, such as IP address, usernames and passwords, connections to Mervis DB and Mervis Proxy and so on. We always recommend downloading the configuration during the initial attachment. | ||
