Updating SIM Firmware from SHIPTide

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

Have SIM225 or Renesas YLCDRX64N/YLCDRX63NE with SHIPEngine version is prior to v5.0.107? → 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. If you have a pre-release or engineering prototype of these units, contact Serious.

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.
