Firmware Downloads

Web-888 firmware ZIP package can download from the following URLs.

ZIP package upgrade will update everything include os, firmware and server application. Auto update will only update firmware and server application. When you feel you are hitting issue related to OS, try to use zip package to do the manual upgrade.

Tips

If you are using zip package to upgrade, you can always unzipped the zip file and copied it directly to the SD card, but left the config folder untouched to retain all your configurations and settings. The config folder contains all your settings.

Fix the stability of Web-888 running on 64Mhz

Warning

Due to the stringent timing requirements we have identified in the FPGA code, some users have experienced stability issues when operating at a 64M bandwidth.

To ensure the stability of the system under 64M bandwidth conditions, we have made the difficult decision to reduce the number of supported channels by one. This adjustment is intended to enhance overall reliability for users in this bandwidth setting.

Please note that in 32M bandwidth mode, as well as in VHF mode, the system will continue to support the full 13 channels.
