Updating firmware
Your interactive flat panel uses firmware on its processor. After you update SMART software, a new
firmware executable file could save on your computer. When you connect a computer with this file to
your interactive flat panel, your interactive flat panel detects this executable file, and then prompts
you to run the file to update the firmware.
