Updating SIM Firmware from SHIPTide

SHIPTide v5 enables SIM firmware updates in seconds!

This capability was introduced in SHIPTide v5.0.107 and expanded in .127 to include a "web live" feature where SHIPTide will automatically pull new firmware updates from the web for your SIM -- no more hunting this site to find the latest firmware, though you still have the ability of installing from manually downloaded files.

One-Time Update to SHIP v5.0.107 or Later

You need SHIPEngine v5.0.107 or later installed on your SIM. If not, you'll have to go through a one-time update process:

SIM	Current Version	Process

Web-Based Firmware Updates

First, download the latest SHIPEngine v5 for your SIM and launch it with your SIM connected to your PC.

Then,

1. Select File->SIM Firmware Update
2. Choose the SIM you want to update
3. After a moment, the currently installed firmware versions will be displayed here
4. Select the type of updates you are interested in
5. Select the specific update bundle you want; bundles can contain 1 or more elements. Look to the left to see what versions the bundle contains of the different firmware elements
6. Release notes for the firmware bundle will appear; review these to see which elements are in the bundle, which versions of those elements, and what the changes/updates to those elements were.
7. Select Program to automatically download and install the selected updates onto your SIM; your SIM may reboot several times

Manual Firmware File Updates

You can still manually install firmware files from your PC's hard drive. On the SIM Firmware Updater panel, select Files:
