Flir E40 Upgrade & Configuration

[Fraser]

Did that camera actually shut down during the firmware update ?

If it did, that is pretty much a worst case scenario that is often highlighted by manufacturers as irrecoverable without a return to the service agent. The reason is that, unlike a controlled firmware installation failure, where the firmware updates can reverse the update if it detects a problem, a power failure during the writing to flash memory basically creates a totally corrupted firmware build with no 'back out' path.

In cases such as this, on embedded computers, if the boot loader remains intact, some clever IT bods install a new firmware image. Sadly I do not think such is so straight forward with the Exx series though. You need to be able to access the operating system and to access that you either need to change the USB mode for FTP communications, or directly access the OS via an RS232 engineering port within the camera. You cannot take someone else's camera firmware and clone it onto your camera as each firmware build is effectively camera specific with file CRC's and unique factory calibration data.

I am sorry to say, I think this will require return to FLIR for a new firmware installation using their production utilities.

To change the resolution I need in

FlashFS/system/appcore.d/config.d/conf.cfg

Code: [Select]

.caps.config.image.settings.resIR int32 160
..
.caps.config.image.targetNoise.targetNoiseMk int32 55
to

Code: [Select]

.caps.config.image.settings.resIR int32 320
..
.caps.config.image.targetNoise.targetNoiseMk int32 0
?
Is that all ? or need something else?

after replacing the file, pictures taken with new settings, does not work :"(

Hi, I bought FLIR e40 from 2014 software version 3.18.0 with MSX. How to make an upgrade to 320x240. Do I have to update the software to version 4.13 first ?? Can anyone give some advice to the E40 with MSX with software 3.18.0

thx

Did you read the rest of the guide where you need to regenerate the CRC code?

Read this thread fully. Yes it can be upgraded. No don't update.

In case you are interested, I here added some useful information and a STL file for 3D printing for a Exx macro lens: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/znse-lenses-on-ebay/msg2214507/#msg2214507

I can confirm that a downgrade for Exx PN645 v4.10 to v3.12.7 is (maybe) possible. My camera is working very well after the downgrade from v4.10.0 to 3.12.7 and I have now access to the whole service menu - with 4.10.0 I had some problems with RNDIS and ftp transfer communication and no service menu. I did the following steps:
1. Load the battery from the camera to 100% and connect the external power supply - the upgrade or downgrade tooks around 30 minutes
2. Switch camera to rndis
3. Backup all files with winscp and ftp
4. Copy the new firmware to the sdcard "\StorageCard\FLIRUpdate\"
(E2qtcomb_v3.12.7.fif and eFLIRInstall.exe)
5. start a Telnet session with <telnet 192.168.0.2>
6. from root type <cd \StorageCard\FLIRUpdate>
7. and execute <eFLIRInstall.exe \StorageCard\FLIRUpdate\E2qtcomb_v3.12.7.fif>
8. confirm all with yes
9. when the upgrade is finished restart your camera a second time - there is a second upgrade process

note - it worked for me. But there is no guarantee that it works for you as well.

Does anybody know if an upgraded resolution and menu mk1 E40 with 490 serial and sw:2.23.14 can be updated to a newer software version without losing the upgrade. I have read in old posts, years ago that 2.23.14 is the end of the line, but i am wondering if this is still valid

[Fraser]

Still valid.

The one more recent Mk1 firmware is a total unknown in terms of its reason for existence. There appears no good reason to install it and plenty to not install it.  Mk2 firmware does not work on a Mk1 platform.

Fraser

[nikoum]

Thank you Fraser. Do you or someone else know if the add isotherm / above or below function can be modified to include an alarm with beep function such as in add spot, add box and add circle ?

[Fraser]

Sorry, cannot help on that request.

Dear All i'm a newbie and i just purchased a used Flir E40 and i want to upgrade to e60 software
i read almost all the tread and spent several hours but still not sure what to do

below are the information
Model: E40 1.2
Serial: 645XXXXX
Software 5.2.0

can i upgrade this this E60 Software?
kindly advice please

[Mannyb]

Just a follow up
i managed to run CRC01 and created a file to flash
but there's seems a problem and i can't connect my camera to pc either in USB RNDIS i also tried FileZilla & total commander with no luck

do i have to downgrade the software first?
is there another option to flash the e60 fif file?

i would really appreciate any feedback

[cuda12]

connection errors kind of depend on what OS you are using, windows 7 on up and xp made the connection easy windows 10 at first didn't work but recent version connect now. What are you using?

Hi Netpac
do still have the the firmware v3.12.7.fif?
would you be able to share as i need it
thanks

[Mannyb]

Thanks all for the support
after various trial and error with tons of back ups, my Flir E40 1.2 with software 5.2.0 serial 645XXXX, are now 320X240 pixels
Lens are also set 4X instead of 2X

still working to enable some functions especially the insulation warning which is disable on E40

again thank you all, this is a great site

[Mannyb]

A simple and easy way to replace the flir Logo is just to edit the bootlogo.bmp itself from \FlashBFS\system and paste your own logo on the same picture, just make sure your logo has the same pixels size and format, so every time you boot up or open your unit your information or logo will appear.

1. create or edit your own logo save it with 320X240 Pixel using paint editor
1. Extract bootlogo.bmp using pft connect,  save somewhere
2. edit the bootlogo.bmp and paste your own logo with the same pixel 320X240
3. put it back using pft connect
4. remove the battery and re-start
