RGP update from 4.0.1

[Alekso]

Hi!

Just installed RPG 500 units with 4.0.1 FW and trying to update to the latest 4.1.1.1. It is said to be done through 4.0.2 but the system does not see 4.0.2 FW file on USB flash. Any ideas?

And am I right that no key is needed updating within 4.* versions?

Thank you!

The USB stick must be FAT32.

The upgrade file must be copied to the root of the stick just as downloaded. Do not attempt to un-zip the  .tar file

Correct - no key is needed for the 4.0.2

However I would suggest loading the 4.1.1.1 as long as you are going through the effort to upgrade.

All you need is the file for the key.

Just a couple of notes about the file:

Create the file using a simple editor such as Notepad (reason - it uses real ASCII characters)

The 'tab' key is critical in that it be a real tab and not spaces.

The name of the file must be    -    sw_keys.txt

the content must be:

U 'tab' (serial number) 'tab' (license key)

The above is detailed in the doc at the below link:

see page 11....

Also be sure there is only one .tar file and one .txt file in the root of the stick.

Other folders are OK as the RPG system will not open files.

Kudos for Kendo.  That's the most clear explanation of RPG upgrades I've seen.  The Official manual is a bit muddied by accessories like Director & PTC.I've taken the liberty of copyinging it & publishing it on our own internal database.  Thanks Pete
