Dear MCHF group,
I have a 100% working V5 MCHf radio that is at M0KNA V.0.219.26.4 and the LCD = parallel. What do I have to do so I can upgrade the firmware and what is the latest firmware I can use on this version 5? Is it worth doing a firmware upgrade?
Thank you!

Andreas,
My MCU is a STM32F407 VTG6 Z HPAC VG KOR HP 423 ST ARM. Can you tell me which one it is? And the steps and mods I need to do to upgrade it?
Thank you

Andrea,
Looks like I got lucky...it says 1 mb flash. Can you point me to a page that steps me through the firmware update? I am almost certain I can not update through the USB flash drive. Do I have to make the touchscreen to work for the firmware updates? If so I think I would have to cut the screen out because it was soldered in. This kit was bought from M0NKA back in 2015.
Thanks for the help

Andrea,
This probably a dumb question but can I just upgrade my firmware to the latest using the M0NKA boot loader and MCHF Manager?
Thank you

Andrea,
would you happen to know if on a M0NKA version .5 board if there is any mod needed to the USB port to apply power or can I just put the firmware on with DfuSeDemo ?.
Thank you

Andrea,
I successfully updates my boot loader and firmware (with the thumb drive). Thank you so much for being patient and helping me through the process.

Andrea,
Yes I do see the screen but if I turn the radio off and back on quickly, I get a white screen. If I let the radio sit off for a minute or 2 and turn the radio back on, the screen boots normally and the radio functions normally. This very repeatable and if I have patients not a big problem 
Thanks again
