Create a software update

When you create an update configuration, you need to define two basic assignment criteria:

  • The type of control unit (ECU) to which the software version applies.

  • The current version of the software that you want to update.

To create a software update:

  1. Go to the Software updates tab.

  2. In the upper-right corner, under the name of your active environment, click Create update.

  6. Click Continue.

  7. Define the update criteria for each control unit software package:

    • If you want to update control units that are running a specific software version only, in the From section, select the relevant items from the Software and Version lists.

    • If you want to update to the new software version on all control units, select the following option: Update to my selected version regardless of what is currently installed

      Older software versions might not upgrade properly due to version incompatibility, and devices already updated will receive the same update.
  8. To specify to which software version you want to update, in the To section, select the relevant items from the Software and Version lists.
