Starting with SHIPTide v5.0.107, you can now update any SIM with firmware v5.0.107 and newer in just seconds from within SHIPTide.

Current SHIPEngine v5.0.106 or earlier

If your SIM's SHIPEngine version is prior to v5.0.107 and you have SIM225 or Renesas YLCDRX64N/YLCDRX63NE, follow these one-time instructions.

The SIM115, SIM231, and SIM535 released versions all come with SHIPEngine v5.0.107 or later installed, so see the simpler process below.

Some SIMs, for example the SIM205 and SIM102 have no SHIPv5 support planned.

Current SHIPEngine v5.0.107 or later

First, download the latest SHIPEngine v5 for your SIM.

Then launch SHIPTide, and select File->SIM Programming:

You will then see the SIM Programming Panel, where you can not only update the SIM's firmware, but also its boot loader elements as well as its GUI all in one operation. If you want to update multiple SIMs of the same time in the same way, you can have several SIMs plugged into your PC and select multiple units.

1. Choose the SIM you want to update; you can update multiple similar SIMs at once
2. Choose the SHIPEngine file you want to burn into your SIM(s)
3. Select Program to perform the operation.
