Introduction
This document describe about bootloader version and firmware version compatibility.
Currently we have 4 version of Bootloader that is ported into the controller which is around the
market.
1. Bootloader version 1.30
2. Bootloader version 1.50
3. Bootloader version 1.51
4. Bootloader version 1.53
We did update on our firmware tool to FWTool1.20. This firmware tool enable user to verify which
bootloader version is ported into the controller during the firmware flashing period.
Both firmware tool versions are the same.
We updated the FwToolv1.20 in order to upgrade the controller bootloader to the latest version.
The latest version at the moment is Bootloader 1.53

Step 4:
If a controller that ported with bootloader prior to 1.53 , it will prompt for bootloader upgrade.
We highly recommend user to upgrade the bootloader to version 1.53.
Please DO NOT cycle power or loss network connection during this bootloader upgrade period. If
any interruption occurs it will damage the controller and the controller needs to send back to EasyIO.
