Upgrades to Comfort II and UCM/ETH for iPhone app

[AdrianL]

Yes thank you in the sense that I have upgraded the firmware on the UCM. I will now install the ETH03 and the MPU01 and see if things become a bit more consistent.

Thanks for your help.

I have now installed the MPU01 and everything seems to be working ok including scanning the modules and executing responses and downloading configuration consistently without errors. The only strange thing I noticed is that the UCM serial number is shown as \"Invalid\" and the Comfort serial number is shown as \"Unknown\". Perhaps this doesn\'t matter much as everything appears to be working ok.

I now want to upgrade the Comfort MPU firmware from 6.011 to latest. The latest instructions here http://www.comfortforums.com/forum92/3400.html specify minimum Comfort firmware of 7.xxx. The instructions in the MPU manual talk about using programming cable but I thought with Comfort firmware 6.xxx there was a better method. Can you point me to instructions for upgrading the Comfort firmware from 6.011 to latest please?

If your ucm is version 7 then you should be able to upgrade the comfort firmware using the instructions in that link
If your ucm is version 6 you can upgrade the ucm firmware by the same method

My UCM is firmware version 7.061 (with ETH02) and Comfort firmware is 6.011. After scanning, I right click on controller and select \"Check for firmware upgrades\". It asks \"The current version is 6.011.Do you wish to upgrade to the latest version 7.065?\" I click on Yes and it says \"Module, Comfort & UCM version must be at least 7 to upgrade this module\'s firmware by bus. Please upgrade using the UCM programming cable.\"

Is your comfigurator upgraded to the latest 3.9.5?

[AdrianL]

Yes it is.

This may be a bug in Comfigurator. We will fix that in the next version
Meanwhile you can upgrade  the Comfort firmware by the UCM programming cable according to instructions at http://www.comfortforums.com/forum4/1216.html

My MPU01 was delivered with the link on PP2 in place. The instructions didn\'t say remove it so I didn\'t but I see from the instructions to do a Comfort firmware upgrade using the programming cable that this link should be in place for the upgrade then removed. Things seem to be working normally with the link in place so should I now remove it until upgrading by cable? Could the link being in place be the reason that attempting to upgrade by Comfort bus did not work (see above 2nd Jan 2015)?

It is advisable for the PP2 shunt to be removed but it normally does not cause problems
You can leave it in
It is not the reason for  not being able to upgrade by bus

You should be able to do the firmware upgrade by bus now

I upgraded to Comfigurator 3.9.7 but still could not upgrade Comfort firmware by bus. However, I upgraded to 7.063 using the programming cable and then was able to upgrade to 7.065 by bus.

G2 of iPhone and iPad apps now working OK. Thanks to all for your help.
