4.2.1.3.2 Firmware Control (Nucleus) - Upgrading Camera Firmware Procedure
The Firmware Control (Nucleus) command allows the end-user to, in one simple operation, load the
camera firmware and FPGA, (Field Programmable Gate Array), firmware. It allows the end-user to
load firmware files into the selected visible camera, or into a camera which responds to ping
command, by introducing its IP address and a value for camera version.
Using this command provides for the upload of firmware files to your camera. After loading the
firmware files, the program will disconnect and attempt to reconnect to the camera. It may be
necessary to power the camera off then on again for Phantom Camera Control application to
reconnect to the camera.
If the application cannot automatically identify the camera you are upgrading, you will have to
introduce the IP address and camera version.
Use the following table to find the camera version value of your camera:
