# Update Firmware

Cytrence Kiwi supports firmware updates in the field. If your Kiwi is performing as expected, there's no need for a firmware update. However, if you encounter issues, upgrading to the latest firmware might help resolve them.

Starting with Cytrence Kiwi version 1.1.3, the application bundles the latest firmware available at the time of its release.

When you download and install Cytrence Kiwi version 1.1.3 or newer, the app will check the Kiwi’s firmware version upon its first connection. If the bundled firmware differs from the current version, you will be prompted to update. Downgrading the firmware is supported, allowing you to revert to an older version if necessary.

Make sure the Kiwi is securely connected during the update to avoid damaging the firmware.
