Microprocessor version and firmware update

Due to the worldwide shortage of electronic components, TYT has changed the microprocessor of the UV88. There are now 2 versions of firmwares according to the 2 versions of the microprocessor. The functionalities and performances are identical between the 2 versions.

However the firmware of the old chipset is not compatible with the new version of the chipset.

To recognize the new version, a sticker with a red dot is affixed to the back of the device on the chassis, by removing the battery.

The serial number of the new version of the microprocessor start from 2111A00031, the numbers ending with a number after 00031 has the new version.

Finally, to avoid any confusion in updating the firmware according to the 2 versions, a firmware file with an extension in .ICF concerns the new version, while a firmware file with an extension in .HEX concerns the old version. The firmware update software is specific to each version.

The programming software and the configuration files are compatible whatever the version.

Reminder: The use of the TYT TH-UV88 walkie-talkie is subject to the respect by the user of the frequencies, of the legislation in force in the country of use and requires a radio license to be able to be legally used in transmission.
