Introduction

WiDV's firmware is stored on the SD Card and can be updated by copying the new firmware file over. We recommend to upgrade the transmitter and receiver units at the same time to avoid any difference across versions that could produce strange behaviors.

The firmware files are stored on the boot partition partition of the SD Card. This is a FAT partition that can be accessed with any Microsoft Windows or Linux computer.
