I was very intrigued, when I first learned of the new firmware release for Griffin; from BatBox, Ltd.
The firmware was made available to me, from Batbox, Ltd., to review and explore, etc. It will be made available, for all Griffin owners, on their Firmware Update Page Here - In about a week.
If your system is up to date (Ver.22) then, just before the update (to Ver.23) your firmware info should read similar to this:
PIC V140
FPGA V09.01.2012
S/W V14.03.2012
Upon launching the upgrade application, it will begin it's (short) process, by displaying the following:
"Doing upgrade, please wait" and the system will begin to perform the upgrade on itself...
Eventually, the final text displayed on the screen will read:
FPGA Upgrade
Program
ToGo: (The seconds count down) 98..97....42...31... Until the system powers itself off (upon completion).
When you next power the unit on, the system will go through a few more upgrade-related splash screens (automatically) and will then return to the ready state.
If one checks the firmware status, the display should read something like this:
PIC V140
FPGA V09.01.2012
S/W V05.07.2012
Which indicates that the upgrade has completed successfully.
At this time, I don't have any solid specifics to report. Since this firmware upgrade is so new, the official documentation has not been made available to me yet.
Also, It is currently 4:00 AM here in the Northeastern United States, and the peak times for (best) bat activity has already passed. I hope to test it's unattended recording improvements tomorrow night.
Happy bat detecting!
