If the current firmware version of your device is less than 30000, and you want to upgrade to a new firmware with a version number greater than 30000, you should follow the steps below to upgrade.
- Upload Firmware
- Do not upgrade the device, go directly to Upgrade power board firmware (this will speed up the entire upgrade process)
Please refer to Upgrade VG710 power board firmware.pdf to upgrade power board firmware.
If you enabled Third-Party Platform(MQTT), please restore its configuration to default as below.
If you enabled Third-Party Platform(TCP), please restore its configuration to default as below.
If you enabled Local MQTT Broker, please restore its configuration to default as below.
If you enabled REST API, please restore its configuration to default as below.
- Please follow Python SDK and APP compatibility to check if you need to upgrade the Python SDK first
- Please follow Docker SDK compatibility to check if you need to upgrade the Docker SDK first
Since the toolchain used by VG710 firmware version 30000 or higher has changed, if you use the Python SDK from a firmware below 30000 and then want to upgrade to a firmware above 30000, you need to reinstall the Python SDK. Please refer to Reinstall Python SDK (optional) to reinstall docker SDK.
Compatibility of the Python SDK and APP with the VG710 firmware is described below:
- Python SDK
| Python SDK Version | Device Firmware Version |
|---|---|
| 1.x.x | 1.0.0.rver(ver < 30000) |
| 2.x.x | 1.0.0.rver(ver >= 30000) |
- Python APP migration
If you want to migrate an APP from Python SDK 1.x.x to Python 2.x.x, see the following case:
Case 1: Python APP is implemented in pure python, the above python APP can be run directly.
Case 2: Python APP has a dependency on the C library (added by yourself), you need to rebuild it under the corresponding version of the Python SDK.
If you use the Docker SDK on a version with a firmware version number less than 30000, after upgrading to a version with a firmware version number greater than 30000, the Docker SDK needs to be reinstalled before it can be used. Please refer to Reinstall Docker SDK (Optional) to reinstall docker SDK
Note: If you did not find Remove Docker SDK option, please upgrade to version V1.0.0.r13835 first.
