Firmware updates - are they needed and safe

[parkher]

I did upgrade VFD controller as recommended and the remote sensitivity is just great. I wonder if something similar can be done to improve Vu+ Ultimo remote sensitivity.

Anyway, I see that there are two more firmware upgrades offered:

FPGA
Front Processor

Should I do them? Should I always do all firmware upgrades available?
Touching such low level things as FPGA sounds dangerous. I wonder where those firmware upgrades originate and can they be safely done again (or undone) if something goes wrong.

BTW, I see that this upgrade is still in the list:
VFD Controller

Are the upgrades already done still shown or a newer version showed up, not sure

For the DUO2 only a VFD-update is available (and you have that installed by now).
It is easy to try: just do the update, go for the download and you'll be told there is none.

But to answer your question: Yes, if this kind of updates are available you really should install them.

I think I see those updates for Ultimo too. Perhaps they are all shown together with the same plugin

[Rob van der Does]

No: for the Ultimo there have indeed been FPGA updates.

And the plugin only shows updates that are available for the box it runs on.
