Check the release note.
Upgrading the firmware enhances the way your Ewon works by implementing new features, improvements in terms of security or usability, or fixes.
eBuddy is an Ewon application that helps you manage the firmware of your Ewon.
We consider eBuddy to be the best solution for the following upgrade cases:
In most cases, an Internet connection is needed to retrieve the latest firmware versions from our servers.
Download eBuddy
If you are connected to the same network as your Ewon devices are connected to, then eBuddy will automatically - or the Refresh button will - display those Ewon devices in the list.
You will then have the possibility to update the firmware of those Ewon devices via Tools > Update Firmware or F3 keyboard shortcut.
Update your Ewon firmware locally
If your Ewon devices is located on a remote site but connected to Talk2M, you can still use eBuddy to seamlessly update the firmware of these Ewon devices.
To update the firmware of the Ewon device that is remotely located and connected to Talk2M, you must be connected to this Ewon device in the eCatcher desktop version, then you will have the possibility to update the firmware of those Ewon devices via Tools > Update Firmware or F3 keyboard shortcut, in eBuddy.
Update your Ewon firmware through Talk2M
The Ewon firmware can also be updated manually:
We consider the manual upgrade to be the best solution for the following upgrade cases:
Upgrade manually your Ewon firmware
The Ewon Flexy embeds a BASIC interpreter which can be used to program the Ewon Flexy to automatically upgrade its firmware.
We provide a script which will automatically upgrade your Ewon Flexy firmware through BASIC.
If you have no local access to the Ewon and you have a big gap between your current version and the lastest firmware version to upgrade an Ewon, a BASIC script can ease the upgrade procedure of your Ewon firmware.
To upgrade an Ewon Flexy (using .edf firmware files) from one major version to an other major version (from 12.x to 14.x for example), the upgrade needs to be performed in different steps using the pivot firmware versions. The Basic Script can handle this process automatically and will upgrade your Ewon to the latest available firmware version.

PR stands for prerelease.
The release of a firmware version takes place in 2 phases:
By doing so, we allow people to take advantage of new features and improvements in an early stage. We are also expressing our belief in the concerned PR firmware version to be an upcoming official release.
It is good to notice that during a PR version:
For Ewon Flexy and Cosy 131, and since firmware version 11.0, it is no longer required to perform an Ewon recovery to upgrade the firmware to another major version. This major version update can be performed with a simple Ewon firmware update thanks to “Pivot firmware”. This means that the firmware can also be updated from remote.
By "pivot firmware", we define firmware versions that are mandatory to upgrade to before going any higher. In fact, all major versions (v12.0s0, v13.0s0, ...) are pivot firmware.
For example: if the firmware version is currently 11.2s2 and there's a wish to upgrade to v13, a first upgrade to v12 is required. Once the current firmware version is 12, then only can the upgrade to v13 be operated.
However, a firmware recovery is still possible and allows you to jump directly to the latest firmware version. Therefore you do not need to step through all different pivot firmware. If you have a local access to the Ewon, then it is easier to perform directly an Ewon recovery
Both files are used as a firmware update file for an Ewon device.
The ".ebu" file can be used for the following cases:
The update via .ebu file - the recovery process - can only be performed locally, either through eBuddy or through the SD card / USB flash drive.
The .edf file can be used in the following cases:
The update via .edf file can be done either locally or remotely through eBuddy or FTP, and only locally through SD card / USB flash drive.
