5.1.1 Firmware Updates
Firmware updates are firmware releases that include fixes and enhancements to the receiver functionality.
Firmware updates are released on the NovAtel web site as they become available. New firmware must be
loaded into the receiver through one of the COM ports. Once loaded, the receiver reboots and begins
operating with the new firmware.
Refer to Transferring Firmware Files on page 36 for descriptions of the Update and OEM
versions.
