For proper operation of the payload, please make sure the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV, the
CTR and the touchscreen tablet are updated to the latest available version. Download
the Intel Falcon 8+ UAS firmware from http://intel.com/FalconDownloads and install it
as described in “Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAS firmware updates” on page 193.
The payload also contains updateable firmware. To update the payload firmware of the
Intel® Imaging Payload you need to install the Intel Platform Flash Tool (PFT) Lite on a
PC.
The currently installed firmware version of the payload can be checked by tapping on
the “i” INFO button in the lower left corner on the touchscreen tablet.
