Hier ist die Update Anleitung für ein Update mittels Windows.

USB Update (USB Flash Drive)

Starting with version 1.53 (including Bootloader 1.0), you can install updates directly from a USB flash drive.

What you need

• USB adapter (female/female)

• USB flash drive

Prepare the USB drive

1. Format the USB drive as FAT32 or exFAT (both are supported).
2. Copy the update file to the USB drive (root directory only, not inside a folder).
3. Rename the file to: AKNG.srec
4. Note: A boot image created with the Bootlogo Creator can also be used.

Start the update

1. Connect the adapter and USB flash drive to the USB update cable.
2. On the display: Settings → System → Update
3. Select USB Flash Drive (not “Computer”).
4. The display turns off briefly – the update starts automatically.

Duration: Updating via USB typically takes about 4–5 minutes.

Status indication (backlight blink code)

• Very fast blinking: No USB flash drive detected. After about 10 seconds, the display boots the normal software again.
• Fast bright / slow dim: Update in progress.

Important notes if the update is interrupted

• If the USB drive is unplugged during the update, the bootloader restarts and waits again for a valid USB drive.
• If ignition is switched off or power is lost, the update must be started again.
• Important: If an update has started and gets interrupted, the device may no longer boot into the app and will stay in bootloader mode until a successful update is completed.
• If the software was already erased and the update is interrupted, the bootloader automatically switches between update modes every 5 seconds.

Slow blinking = Computer update
Fast blinking = USB Flash Drive update

We recommend this simple program to connect to the display via the USB cable:

HTerm Download

Connect the DataDisplay NextGen to the PC using the USB cable

Start the "HTerm" program.

Apply the following settings as shown in the picture:

Port: The port is different for everyone. If there are several to choose from, unplug the DataDisplay, click on the "R" button to the right of the port selection and see which port has disappeared. Reconnect the DataDisplay, click "R" again and select the port for the DataDisplay

Baud: 115200

Data: 8

Stop:1

Parity: None

Press the "connect" button at the top left and the connection to the display will be established.

Under "Input control" check the Ascii only box.

Type: ASC

Enter the command "reset" in the input field (as shown in the picture) and press Enter on the keyboard.

The display is now set to factory settings and restarts.

In most cases it is because the plug is plugged in the wrong way round either in the connection box or in the display. This means that the power supply is guaranteed, but not the CAN bus for the data.

Solution: Insert the cable the right way round (flat side to flat side and round side to round side).

The flickering means that the bootloader is active and can accept an update.

If the display runs for some time, the bootloader is told that the application is ok and running.

The actual software (application) is then started immediately and the display no longer flickers when switched on.

If you frequently turn the ignition off and on again, it flickers again because the application hasn't run long enough.

This is a safety feature so that the display can always be updated should something go wrong.
