Firmware Upgrade on ValueCut Products

Warning:

1.) A main board is required to be pre-programmed with a loader in order to become flash able for firmware uploading.

2.) Normally, before a new spare main board is ready to ship, a loader or even a firmware (smallest size of ordered model series) will be uploaded first on it. In case of functionality problem happening due to incorrect firmware version, please verify if the existing firmware on this main board is the desired one. A new program called (Firmware Upgrader) is a tool for users to easily upgrade firmware, followed by the steps listed below.
