Usage Notes

• WARNING: Do not attempt to revert your module to a firmware version earlier than v5.0.201 after updating with this release. The bundles earlier than v5.0.201 are no longer compatible. If you encounter any issues with this release, please contact our support email for assistance. Attempts to revert your module to a firmware version earlier than v5.0.201 may put your module into an unrecoverable state without additional hardware.
• SHIPTide v5.0.206 requires SHIPEngine 5.0.206 as well; after upgrading your SHIPTide please perform a File->SIM Firmware Updater to upgrade your SIM to the latest v5.0.206 bundle.
• All projects generated in prior SHIPTide releases should be refreshed by performing a File->Change Platform/Variant and re-selecting your target platform.  This may seem redundant but performs a refresh of your platform resources in the project and makes the new capabilities described below available to your projects.
