Before the update, FMx125 has to be updated first. The latest camera firmware requires 03.27.07.Rev.364 or newer firmware. After FMx125 update, update of the camera can start:

* Connect the camera to the FMx125. Power up, wait for the configuration finish (about 30 seconds after power up).

1 Connect the camera to the FMx125. Power up, wait for the configuration finish (about 30 seconds after power up).

* Ensure, that power supply at all times has stable 14V and not less that 2.5A output. If update is performed with the camera, that is installed in the vehicle, it is strongly recommended to have the engine running for stable alternator power supply.

* Make sure that the camera works and responds (for example, try getting an image or try sending “camgetver” and check whether for both front and rear camera firmware versions are returned).

3 Make sure that the camera works and responds (for example, try getting an image or try sending “camgetver” and check whether for both front and rear camera firmware versions are returned).

* Format the SD cards of both cameras using SMS command "'''camget_sdformat:<cam id>'''". Cam id is the same as in “'''camreq'''”: 1 - Front Camera, 2 - Rear Camera. For example:

4 Format the SD cards of both cameras using SMS command "'''camget_sdformat:<cam id>'''". Cam id is the same as in “'''camreq'''”: 1 - Front Camera, 2 - Rear Camera. For example:

'''camget_sdformat:1'''

'''camget_sdformat:1'''

* After the cards are formatted, power off everything, disconnect the camera from FMx125 and take out the SD cards. If disconnecting FMx125 from the DualCam is not possible, disable external UART mode from the configuration:

* After taking out SD cards, write the firmware file of V2.2.0 to the root of both (front/rear) SD cards. Do not rename the firmware file, it has to be as it is, "JPEG_IPC_APP".   

6 After taking out SD cards, write the firmware file of V2.2.0 to the root of both (front/rear) SD cards. Do not rename the firmware file, it has to be as it is, "JPEG_IPC_APP".   

* Put the cards back in, power the camera on. Do not reconnect the camera to the FMx125 or configure RS232 mode back yet.   

7 Put the cards back in, power the camera on. Do not reconnect the camera to the FMx125 or configure RS232 mode back yet.   

* Wait 60-90s. You should hear a click from the rear camera after the update succeeds. That click sound indicates restart of the rear camera which happens after successful firmware update.   

8 Wait 60-90s. You should hear a click from the rear camera after the update succeeds. That click sound indicates restart of the rear camera which happens after successful firmware update.   

* Even if you don't hear the clicking sound, reconnect the camera to the FMx125 (or reconfigure RS232 mode back to DualCam) after few minutes anyway and send SMS “camgetver” command to check the versions.   

9 Even if you don't hear the clicking sound, reconnect the camera to the FMx125 (or reconfigure RS232 mode back to DualCam) after few minutes anyway and send SMS “camgetver” command to check the versions.   

* At this point the command should return “Front/Rear camera camgetver failed.” If it does, it does not mean a problem, because V2.2.0 is a transitional firmware and it does not return version. Therefore, if the camera was returning V1.9.3/1.9.2 or other 1.9.X version, this means it has updated to the V2.2.0 successfully and update procedure can continue.

* Format the cards again and disconnect from the camera the FMx125. Essentially, repeat steps 3 and 4. After that go with step 11.

* Take the cards out and write the firmware file of V2.2.2 to the root of both SD cards. The file name is “ALL221_IPC_BIN”. Again, do not rename it.  

12 Take the cards out and write the firmware file of V2.2.2 to the root of both SD cards. The file name is “ALL221_IPC_BIN”. Again, do not rename it.  

* Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8. After that go with step 13.  

13 Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8. After that go with step 13.  

* Now, if all went successfully, return to the “camgetver” should return this:   

14 Now, if all went successfully, return to the “camgetver” should return this:
