Firmware Updates and File Operations
Dynon plans to provide new functionality and capability for the SkyView system via firmware
updates. Use the resources mentioned in the Contact Information Section of this document to
stay current on firmware availability for SkyView.
Firmware updates and file operations are performed using a USB flash drive. A flash drive with
at least 50 Megabytes of storage is required for standard firmware updates. A drive with at
least 4 Gigabytes of storage capacity is required for terrain file updates. Note that a 4 Gigabyte
USB flash drive is included with every SkyView display, and is the recommended USB flash drive
for these operations.
In order to open the System Software Menu, you must have a USB flash drive plugged in to your
SkyView display.
Updating the firmware on a SkyView display automatically updates all of the
modules connected on the same SkyView network, except for other SkyView
displays. Each display must be updated individually.
How to Update Firmware
1. Download the latest SkyView firmware file from downloads.dynonavionics.com.
2. Copy the firmware file onto your USB flash drive. The firmware file must be in the root
directory of the drive in order to be recognizable by the display.
3. Insert the USB flash drive into one of the display’s USB sockets.
4. Go to the Upgrade System Software Wizard (SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SOFTWARE >
UPGRADE SYSTEM SOFTWARE…).
5. Update the firmware on the unit by pressing UPDATE or press CANCEL to return to the
System Software Menu.
