Operation

Once the installation is finished, open Veronte Updater and the following main menu will appear:

Veronte Updater - Main menu

Users may notice that there are some tabs at the top of the menu:

• Home: This is the main tab, where the whole update process takes place.

• Advanced Tools: Clicking on it displays a drop-down menu with several options that can be carried out on the connected device: File system, Upload files, Flash tool and Flash Remode ID.

  For more information, refer to Advanced tools section.

• Feedback: Users can report a problem they have encountered by creating an issue in their own ‘Joint Collaboration Framework’. The ‘Download’ button downloads a zipped folder with the current device configuration and more information needed for Embention to resolve the issue. It is advisable to attach this folder when creating the issue.

  Note

  The user’s ‘Joint Collaboration Framework’ is simply a own Github repository for each customer.

  If the user has any questions about this Joint Collaboration Framework, please see the Joint Collaboration Framework user manual.

Update process

Follow the steps below to carry out the upgrade process of a Veronte Autopilot 1x:

Important

• Since the most frequently updated device is Veronte Autopilot 1x, this user manual uses this device as an example. However, all other devices require the same procedure.

• Steps marked with are not necessary if the upgrade version does not change the first two numbers (major and minor).

  For example, they are not required from 6.8.116 to 6.8.126 but they are necessary from 6.4.90 to 6.8.126.

1. Connect the device (to be updated) to a computer with Veronte Link.

   Then, open Veronte Updater and select the connected device in the marked area:

2. Load the .update file.

   There are two ways to do this, dragging the file to the Drag area or by using the Select button.

   The latter option will open the following browser to select the .update file stored in the user’s local storage:

   Important

   If the Autopilot 1x is intended to be simulated, this warning can be ignored.

   However, if the autopilot is to be used for real flights, please send it to Embention, so that the SD card can be updated.

   Use the PDI Builder software for the updated device, in this case, the 1x PDI Builder.

   Open the app, select the unit and click Upload PDI.

   Note

   During the update the device has been formatted and consequently the 1x autopilot configuration has been deleted. Therefore Veronte Link will show it as Loaded with errors and CFG: Failed load config.
