9. Firmware updates
9.1. Changelog
The changelog is available on Victron Professional in the Firmware → Venus OS directory. To access Victron Professional, you
need to sign up (free).
9.2. Updating from version 1.x to 2
Running firmware version v1.74 or earlier? An upgrade is needed. Follow the upgrade procedure to v2.
Otherwise follow instructions below.
9.3. Via internet or with microSD-card/USB-stick
There are two ways to update the firmware:
1. Update it via the internet, either manually or let it check for new updates every day.
2. Update it from a microSD-card or USB-stick.
9.3.1. Direct download from the internet
On GX devices without a display (ie. a Venus GX or Cerbo GX without GX Touch), use Remote Console to get to below menus.
1. To update from the internet, navigate to: Settings → Firmware → Online updates.
2. Press 'Check for updates'.
3. If there is a newer firmware version, it will be shown under 'Update available'. Press to update to the new firmware version.
4. After the GX device has been updated to the new firmware version, make sure to check the settings of your installation.
Note that for most system applications our advise is to keep automatic updates disabled; as is also the default
factory setting. Instead, update the system at a convenient moment; when people are on location and ready to
revert to a previous system and/or troubleshoot in case of issues.
