Firmware gives your emulation module a “personality” for a particular
microprocessor or microprocessor family.
After you have installed the emulation module into the logic analysis

You must update the firmware if:
• You have an emulation module which was not shipped already installed in
the logic analysis system.
• You need to change the personality of the emulation module for a new
