I don't understand, why I can't upgrade firmware via usb cable?

@ majes:
please read carefully the posts: DCA-510/ DCA-512 is a USB cable.

@arrows:
:lol: the mobile does not have a USB port.....
It´s of course the connection of the cable to the PC...

Upgrade with DCA 510 is possible! It emulates a serial port!

What about DCA-500 that came with S57/55? Can it be?

[pb.joker]

The DCA-500 is an offical accessory for the CX65. It has full support for data exchange and firmware upgrade.

I have already upgraded my cx65 with DCA-500 - 15 minutes, no problems :D

[goran_the_man]

Thank you very much for all of the comfirmation.

[majes]

what about dca-540?

[pb.joker]

what about dca-540?

Data exchange ist possible with the DCA-540 but no firmware upgrade. So stay with the 510/512.

Summary:

Data Exchange / Firmware-Upgrade
No-Name COM no / yes (no guarantee)
No-Name USB no / no
DCA-500 yes / yes
DCA-510/512 yes / yes
DCA-540 yes / no

in this site
siemens say cannot upgrade firmware with usb
can only by serial.

[voodoo.user]

The DCA-510 is a USB-to-Serial-Converter. It comes with a virtual COM-driver, for example s25@once communicates with my M65 by COM4 using the DCA-510.

It is possible with the DCA-510 cable. You have to switch the button on the cable to off, then it goes very well. I just did it myself. :lol:
