30.2 Firmware Upgrade Screen
The X6004 accepts two kinds of firmware files. The first type of file has a “.bin” extension.
This type of file contains instructions on how the device drivers interact with the main
processing unit of the X6004. In other words, when you upload a new “.bin” file you might not
see any changes in the GUI of the X6004, but you may experience improved performance. The
second type of file has a “.rom” extension. This type of file contains functional instructions for
the X6004. When you upload this type of file, you may see new features or changes in the GUI
of the X6004.
