Answer: A current MTCX Firmware (MTCX FPGA and MTCX PX32) upgrade can be downloaded directly from the service portal on the B&R homepage (www.br-automation.com).

If the B&R upgrade was already added when the bootable media was created using the B&R Embedded OS Installer, then this step is not necessary. • Connect the bootable media to the Power Panel and reboot the device. • A boot menu with the following options is displayed after booting:Concerning item 1: The MTCX Firmware FPGA and PX32 is automatically updated (default after 5 sec).Concerning item 2: Returns to the shell (MS-DOS). • Select the desired action. • Remove the bootable media and reboot the device (only after a successful update!).
