Firmware Management

accessing the needed file

You need a current firmware version in the form of a '.deb' file, which, as an ebee customer, you recieve through your SVN access at https://office.elinc.de/svn/ebee/XChange/Releases/. You can also obtain the required version through a service ticket.

1. Release Roadmap

2. Updating via the backend

Usually, firmware updates occur automatically with backend connection. If this is not the case for you, provide the '.deb' file of the current firmware version to your backend operator and contact them for assistance.

3. USB-stick firmwareupdate

USB stick config

You need an empty USB stick formatted with the Windows FAT32 file system

1. Log in to the Configuration Interface using the Operator Login Credentials
2. Under SYSTEM > USB security USB Firmware Update On
3. Save the firmware update installation file in ".deb" format in the root directory of the USB stick (alongside the password file, if not present create a .txt file that holds the manufacturer password and name it "USB_PASSWORD") under the name "sw_update.deb"
4. Insert the USB stick into the charge controller and wait until the update is completed. The entire process may take up to 15 minutes. You can monitor the update status based on the three LED lights of the controller

After a successful update, the controller will automatically restart. If no further actions are prompted by the stick, then the process is complete. The controller will indicate this by having the green "READY" LED blink rapidly. You can then remove the USB stick.

attention

If two charging points are connected with a USB cable (as in the case of an ebee dual charging station) and you insert the USB stick into the gateway controller, the update will be automatically applied to both charging points. If you wish to avoid this, you can save an empty file on your USB stick with the name "FW_UPDATE_LOCAL". This file should also not have a file extension.

4. Interface firmwareupdate

1. Log in to the Configuration Interface using the Operator Login Credentials
2. Under SYSTEM > Firmware Update seletct Select file (.deb)
3. Choose the .deb file you want to install
4. Click Open
5. Click Install

To perform the update, you first need to access the controller's configuration interface. Under the SYSTEM > Firmware Update, you will find the Select file (.deb) button. Click on this button and select the installation file of the new firmware in the pop-up window. It must have the file extension ".deb". Confirm the selection by clicking Open. Once the selection is made, you can initiate the update by clicking Install.
