ARM600 User Manual

The ARM600 Patrol application enables the writing of firmware as a batch to several RIO600 devices connected to one or several Arctic devices. However, all RIO600 modules and firmware versions cannot be updated. The firmware packages supported by the Patrol application contain one or many firmware files for the RIO600 modules and are distributed in zip files, for example, RIO600V1.7.3_FIRMWARE.zip. The Arctic and RIO600 firmware packages that are stored on ARM600 can be viewed via Arctic Patrol > Device Firmware.

Note: LECM module firmware Ver.1.7 or later supports firmware upgrade.
Note: SIM8F module firmware Ver.1.2 or later supports firmware upgrade.
