| + | The AOI FB is no longer needed because the calculation has been moved to the HW level. You can now use just the AO_w datapoint to configure the mode of the AO and AO_r to read the actual value [[en:sw:01-mervis:analog-outputs-hidden#measuring_resistance_temperature|as described in the tutorial]]. | ||

| Mervis reports message "Warning Obsolete HW device "Neuron S103" is used. This device should be manually replaced by a suitable device from the current HW library." warning users about using obsolete device prototype. This is caused because the IDE, in which the project is currently opened, contains a newer version of devices so the older version is marked as obsolete. | Mervis reports message "Warning Obsolete HW device "Neuron S103" is used.

| - | When using device prototypes v2.0 (older prototypes are marked as obsolete) a firmware v5.14 or greater must be used. The firware can be updated by [[files:software:tools:00-start|the Extension FW tool]] via [[https://www.unipi.technology/usb-to-serial-rs485-converter-p42 | USB-RS485 converter]]. | + | When using device prototypes v2.0 (older prototypes are marked as obsolete) a firmware v5.14 or greater must be used. There are three ways to upgrade the firmware: |
| + | - Using [[files:software:tools:00-start|the Extension FW tool]] via a USB to RS485 converter such as Digitus DA-70157. | ||
| + | - Booting a [[files:software:os-images:00-start#extension_fw_upgrade_os_for_neurons|special OS image for Neurons]], which will do it automatically. | ||
| + | - Contact our support team with the type of your extension and its serial number and send the unit(s) back to us and we will reflah it and send it back to you the next day. | ||
| - | ==== Moving your devices to the current version ==== | ||
| - | FIXME how to do that properly? Have you used Autogen on the whole device or not? | ||
