    ## Thoughts on updating to 2.x

    It looks like you won't be able to upgrade directly from 1.4.7 to 2.2.1. 1.4.7 still uses Ruby and needs a firmware.yml file, and that is missing in the 2.2.1 distribution. So you'll need to upgrade to 2.1.5 first. Taking a cue from [Daniel Wippermann's server](https://github.com/danielwippermann/dl2v2update), you can get the 2.1.5 zip file by running the command:

    In fact, I suspect that the intermediate upgrade from 1.4.4 to 1.4.7 could be eliminated if you copied the RESOL/DL2/firmware.* files from the 2.1.5 distribution to the root of the SDCARD and renamed them with the `resol-dl2-` prefix as described above.

    ## DL2 Update

    The trouble is the instructions on the Resol website for this update are wrong.
    I found helpful instructions on the [way back machine](http://web.archive.org/web/20131028162316/http://www.resol.de/index/firmware/sprache/en#en146), but even those had to be adjusted.

    Here's what worked for me:

    1. Make sure you are on firmware version 1.4.5 or lower. Go to http://192.168.1.100/cgi-bin/get_resol_device_information (replace 192.168.1.100 with your DL2’s IP address)
    2. Format your SD card. Formatting on the Mac with MS-DOS(FAT) didn’t work for me. I ended up formatting it on my Panasonic camera.
    3. Insert the freshly-formatted card into the DL2, wait till the flashing green light turns solid. . .
    4. Take the card out and put it in your computer: you will see a folder DL2 with the log files in it. If you don’t, the DL2 hasn’t recognized the SD card.
    5. Unzip the firmware.zip file you downloaded from [Resol](http://www.resol.de/Firmware/Datalogger_DL2/firmware.zip). At the top level, you will see `firmware.bin` and `firmware.yml`.
    Copy them to the top level of the SD card and rename them `resol-dl2-firmware.bin` and `resol-dl2-firmware.yml`.
    6. Eject the card and insert it into the DL2. The green light will blink green and turn solid. after a few minutes, go to http://192.168.1.100/cgi-bin/get_resol_device_information again you should see version 1.4.7.
