I've purchased a used Multiplus Compact 12/2000/80 and found the firmware is currently 2008202.
This is my first Victron product, so I apologize for my ignorance...
I see that version 2008209 is available -
Is this the correct version to install now?
(are intermediate versions prerequisite?)
Are there compelling reasons to choose to update, or not update?
Thank you for your help!
That is the correct firmware for your unit, the first four digits (xxyy) must be the same xxyyzzz.
The zzz value is the incremental firmware number.
You do not need to perform incremental upgrades, you can flash to 209 from 202.
If everything is stable and working as you like without any problems then there is no real need to change anything.
However, if you have any support issues then you might be asked to upgrade to the latest firmware to rule out any issues that older firmware might have had.
You'll need to download the firmware file from here: https://professional.victronenergy.com
In the folder for VE.Bus firmware there is a changelog document. You might like to read that document to see if any firmware upgrades would be beneficial to you.
Thank you! Much appreciated. Found the changelog as described, very useful information.
