Check the version of the CRFS operating system you are using by checking the bottom right of your Node webpage.
Before Core, the latest version was v1.24.x, released in May 2024.
Customers with Version v1.24.x and SSUS will automatically be eligible to upgrade their compatible RFeye Nodes.
Customers without SSUS can upgrade by talking to Customer Support about SSUS renewal and upgrade.
Customers running on v1.24 or older without SSUS should contact their Account Manager or Customer Support about an upgrade.
Upgrading to Core 2.24 will move you from v1.x to v2.x. Starting in July 2024, all new software features and system updates will be exclusively available to customers using RFeye Core (v2.24) firmware or newer.
CRFS is committed to delivering a security-focused future for its customers. RFeye Core is the remodeled foundation upon which CRFS can deliver that objective.
● New kernel: The RFeye Core is built on a new, state-of-the-art kernel. This runs on the RFeye Node and significantly improves system stability and security.
● Security fixes: Comprehensive security fixes are integrated into RFeye Core to protect against vulnerabilities.
● Regular updates: RFeye Core provides a new foundation that allows regular updates and patches, ensuring the product’s security-focused future.

This benefits users who want to execute a task on an RFeye Node without requiring an active API stream over a network connection or manual configuration during the mission. Users can generate configurations through the Node webpage or program the Node using RFeye Site. Tasker is designed for simplicity, with a user guide that provides detailed descriptions of its functionality and instructions.
