The BlueCore Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) Wizard

Upgrade Action
The wizard is usually used to upgrade the firmware of a BlueCore module to a later version. However, to guard against the possibility of the new version not operating correctly, the wizard also provides the option to revert to an earlier version of software.

Three options are offered:

Download a new version of the firmware, saving a copy of the current version first.
The wizard will save a copy of the existing firmware in the BlueCore module, and then the new version will be downloaded. This is the normal option to use.

Download a new version of the firmware, without first saving a copy of the current version.
The wizard will overwrite the existing firmware in the BlueCore module without saving a copy first. This operation is irreversible; only use it if the BlueCore module does not contain a version of firmware that you may wish to restore.

Restore the previous version of the firmware.
The wizard will overwrite the existing firmware in the BlueCore module with the version saved during the most recent upgrade. Use this option if problems have been encountered after performing an upgrade.

The wizard is not supplied with a saved copy of the firmware. Hence, until an upgrade has been successfully completed, only the first option will be selectable.

Select the appropriate option and then click on the Next > button to progress to the next page.
