CCGX: Upgrading to v2

Updating a CCGX from v1.74 to a newer version requires a one time manual upgrade.

At this moment, the latest available version is v2.11.

This document explains the one time manual upgrade procedure.

Once upgraded, updates can be installed automatically from the internet again. See here for details.

Video

A microSD card is needed. It is not possible to use an USB stick.

The upgrade procedure:

Get a microSD card. The card needs to be formatted with either a FAT or FAT32 ﬁle system.1.

Preferably use a card of 32GB or smaller, as larger cards are often hard to format with

mentioned FAT ﬁlesystems. The upgrade requires less than 150MB on the card.

Download venus-upgrade-image-ccgx.zip2.

Above link always points to the latest available version.3.

Unzip it, and put its contents on the card.4.

Click ‘Safely remove hardware’ or another eject function on your computer.5.

Take the card out6.

Insert the card into the Ccgx7.

Press and hold (!) button E8.

Shortly press A and B at the same time (still hold button E!)9.

After approximately 2 minutes, you’ll see “Remove SD/USB medium and reset system”13.

So, remove the card, and press buttons A and B again to reboot.14.

Upgrade complete already! But make sure to double check a few things:

All settings in the connected devices (Multis, BMV, Solar Charger etcetera) won’t be aﬀected.

Also all settings in the ccgx won’t be aﬀected. But still it is good to double check that.

Especially double check wiﬁ and/or ethernet passwords and IP conﬁguration.

Troubleshooting

It restart normally and doesn't start the upgrade

Make sure to hold (!) button E till the upgrade starts

A blue screen is shown while booting and after ~1 minute, "Starting" is displayed

update on the sd card. Common causes:

FAT32.

Not all ﬁles are on the microSD card. Make sure to unzip the zip ﬁle and put all contents on the2.

root folder on the card.

The sdcard is broken. (very rare, check item 1 and 2 ﬁrst)3.

The sdcard-slot on the CCGX is broken. (also very rare)4.

The screen stays solid blue (no Victron logo) and stays like that forever

Make sure button A is released after resetting. Pressing both A and E after a reset will interrupt the

boot. Try again, and release A before B.

This means that the button pressing procedure was done OK. And the sdcard is properly formatted.
