The current stable firmware is V2.2a.8. It is not possible to brick the AlarmDecoder but it can get into some states that make firmware updates difficult so be patient when updating the firmware in your AlarmDecoder. Flashing your device will not retain configuration settings.

Identifying your Board Revision

Use the images below to identify what revision of AlarmDecoder you have.

2.2 (AD2USB)
2.2 (AD2SERIAL)
2.2 (AD2PI)
2.0 (AD2USB)

Checking your Firmware Version

You can retrieve the version information by connecting to your device with a terminal program (PuTTY, screen, etc.) and sending the V command.

A response will be returned with your current version information: 

 !VER:ffffffff,V2.2a.8a8,TX;RX;SM;VZ;RF;ZX;RE;AU;3X;CG;DD;MF;LR;KE;MK;CB;DS
