Feature Request / Documentation Enhancement

Please place the "http://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/manual-VE.Bus-firmware-versions-explained-EN.pdf" file into the proper directory in dropbox for use during upgrades in the field.


Background/repro steps:

  1. Firmware on the pro site can be linked via Dropbox to my local computer via this site: Connect with Dropbox - Victron Professional (victronenergy.com)
    1. This allows for easy upgrades when I am at a site with no internet connectivity.
  2. Firmware updates and the decision tree for VE devices can sometimes be tricky with references to chip versions etc.
  3. Firmware versions are listed here:
  4. Dropbox/Apps/VictronEnergyCMSSync/Firmwares/VE.Bus (Multis, Inverters and Quattros)/VEBus firmware numbers.txt
    1. This document wisely tells you to reference http://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/manual-VE.Bus-firmware-versions-explained-EN.pdf
  5. If I am at a remote site I have NO access to the Internet so I have no access to this reference material.
  6. I do not want a local copy on my hard drive.
    1. This document may change.
    2. I use dropbox as a single source of truth regarding Victron firmwares for VE Devices.
  7. I do not want to ask my customer to remove panels to give me information regarding chipset etc.
    1. This could be dangerous.

Thank you for the consideration
