Basic SkyView Display Operation
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision R 3-15
Updating the firmware on a SkyView display automatically updates all of the
modules connected on the same SkyView network, except for other SkyView
displays. Each display must be updated individually.
Prior to updating firmware, all SkyView Network devices must be powered on and
online. If all previously configured SkyView Network devices are not detected, a
warning screen will appear. The most common cause for this error that power is off
to the autopilot servos (AP switch not ON). As soon as the offline module(s) resume
communicating with SkyView, the firmware update will automatically proceed.
(SkyView Network devices do not include SV-ADSB-470 and SV-XPNDR-261/262 –
those devices are connected via serial ports).
How to Update Firmware
1. Download the latest SkyView firmware file from http://downloads.dynonavionics.com.
2. Copy the firmware file onto your USB flash drive. The firmware file must be in the root
directory of the drive in order to be recognizable by the display.
3. Insert the USB flash drive into one of the display’s USB sockets.
4. Go to the Upgrade System Software Wizard (SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SOFTWARE >
UPGRADE SYSTEM SOFTWARE…) and click the knob to the right one time.
If some SkyView Network modules (or other displays) are not powered on or
connected to the SkyView network, you will see a screen that is similar to Figure 15
below.
