| Updating firmware remotely for terminals can be accomplished in three different ways. Each method has its own advantages and considerations.
| | {{Migrating|https://smartpossdk.gitbook.io/cloudpossdk/faq/tms-wizarview/update-firmware-remotely}} |
| == Update with Full Firmware Package ==
| |
| * '''Description:''' This involves downloading the entire firmware package from the vendor. Example file name: ''''2023xxxx-Q3A7-wizarpos-TF-Sxxxx-mid-user-nosplash.zip''''.
| |
| * '''Considerations:'''
| |
| ** The full package is usually large, around 500MB, so a stable Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection is recommended for the update.
| |
| ** Ensure sufficient internal storage on the terminal, as lack of space could lead to update failure.
| |
| ** This method is less recommended due to its size and the potential for storage issues.
| |
| * '''Procedure:''' Obtain the package from the vendor and configure it in WizarView as an Application with the type ‘firmware’. Do not unzip the file before configuration.

| |
| == Update with Specific Firmware Patch Package ==
| |
| * '''Description:''' A firmware patch is a smaller update tailored to a specific old firmware version of the terminal.
| |
| * '''Considerations:'''
| |
| ** The patch is typically less than 100MB.
| |
| ** Be cautious to match the patch package with the correct old firmware version to avoid errors.
| |
| * '''Procedure:''' Obtain the specific firmware patch package from the vendor and configure it in WizarView as an Application with the type ‘firmware’.
| |
| == Update with Auto-Generate Patch Package ==
| |
| * '''Description:''' An advanced option where the vendor configures a target firmware version for your terminal.
| |
| * '''Considerations:'''
| |
| ** Patch packages generated are usually under 100MB.
| |
| ** WizarView automatically generates the necessary patch, eliminating the need to consider the old firmware version.
| |
| ** In some cases, such as with standard release versions, WizarView might not generate a patch, requiring a full firmware update instead.
| |
| * '''Procedure:''' Request the vendor to set up the target firmware. Then configure this firmware in WizarView under ‘Application -> Firmware submenu’.

| |
| '''Note:'''
| |
| * The choice of method depends on factors like terminal storage capacity, network connectivity, and the specific requirements of the terminal's current firmware version.
| |
| * For all methods, ensure that you have reliable internet connectivity and that the terminal remains powered during the update process to prevent any interruptions or firmware corruption.
