What is "Firmware"?

Firmware is a combination of the following pieces of software:

  • Recon BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) (controls how the Recon "boots up")
  • Motherboard chip controller drivers (controls battery monitoring/recharging, communications, and more)
  • Windows CE .NET operating system (controls your Windows CE .NET compatible software, such as Survey Pro)
  • It is our standard practice to update all three of these in a single "firmware update" file to ensure that your Recon runs reliably and efficiently.
