10.2 Firmware Upgrade Procedure Overview
CSL CS203, CS468 and CS469 Readers have 1 RFID Processor and 1 Network Processor for
RFID application and network application. The application firmware can be upgradable via PC
software provided (RFID FwUpgrade X.X.XX.exe).
The Firmware Compatibility Table shows that current CSL RFID readers with RFID Application
version 1.3.xx and v1.4.xx do not include RFID Bootloader. Therefore if user wants to do firmware
upgrade of RFID Application from v1.3.xx / v1.4.xx to v1.5.xx, user must install the RFID
Bootloader to the reader before upgrading the RFID Application to the latest version (v1.5.xx or
after).
