Firmware for Tibbo Devices
Important note regarding new EM203 and DS203 devices
New EM203 and DS203 devices will ONLY work with
serial-over-Ethernet firmware V3.70 (or higher). Loading any earlier firmware into these devices will make them
inoperable and you will have to reload the firmware again -- this time through the serial port!
The EM203A device does not have this limitation and can use older firmware as well.
How To Upgrade
Firmware of Tibbo Devices can be upgraded through the serial port or network. Serial upgrades always work while upgrading the firmware through
the network has several limitations. Some earlier Tibbo Devices do not support network upgrades at all. All newer devices do support network
upgrades but only when correct (older) firmware file is already loaded into the Device at the moment of upgrade procedure.
This means that by loading a wrong file you will render further network upgrades impossible until you load a correct firmware file through the serial port.
Which firmware file to use for upgrade depends on the model number of your Tibbo Device and sometimes on how you wish to perform the upgrade-
through the serial port or network. Make sure you choose correct firmware file!
Upgrades can be performed using the
upgrade function of our
DS Manager software, a part of
Device Server Toolkit (DST). You can download the DST
here.
Notice that there is a relationship between the firmware version you are using on Tibbo Devices and the minimum DST version that should be installed
on the PC to take a full advantage of this firmware. Hence, if you are upgrading the firmware you may need to upgrade the DST as well.

Firmware for EM100, DS100 |
Current release: V3.34, published on 29MAY2007 |
We have stopped supporting our earliest devices (shown in the left column below). All these devices have
not been in production for over four years. Devices in the right column below are and will be supported in the foreseeable future. These devices
can be upgraded through the serial port or network. |
EM100-00/ -01/ -02,
DS100-00/ -01/ -02
use "W" build.
| EM100-03/ -04, DS100R-03/ -04, DS100B-00/ -01/ -02
use "SN" or "S" builds |
Tibbo no longer releases firmware upgrades for these devices. |
Choose "SN" build if you are performing an upgrade through the serial port: |
Choose "S" build if you are performing an upgrade through the network: |
