Firmware Version - 11/10/2017 (V3.20_201711101633)
If your current firmware version is 3.10_XXXXXXXXXXXX or earlier, you must install version 3.11 below before installing version 3.20. Version 3.11 requires two sequential updates, i.e. the same firmware needs to be applied twice in a row. The reason for this is that in V3.11 the bootloader for supporting redundant firmware images is reformatted to free up space.
