Firmware versions

R2.xx firmware in the 2090 has long been superseded by 3.xx (as of 2007, june, 3.12 is the latest). There are some significant differences in the way 2.xx and 3.xx handle the bus, and status register queries.

If the users 2090 has Flash memory, they can update it from a free download (from ETS's site) over the bus. If it's not Flash upgradable, it's 'new EPROM time'. The latests firmware flash update can be downloaded from: http://www.ets-lindgren.com/page/?i=softwareupdates

2090s with firmware version 2.31 or later are flash upgradeable. 2090s with older firmware versions will require a hardware upgrade to be compatible.
