I try to install the latest firmware (4.2) using USB but the installation cannot be completed. Someone told me that maybe this is because you cannot go from 1.4.0 directly to 4.2 and that I need to install first earlier versions. Is this true? And if so, when can I get the earlier versions? Thank you all

Joined: 20/10/2023(UTC) Posts: 3 Location: Attiki, Athens		On this link, opening the "CS2_update_Info_above_3_6_english.pdf" it says: "Load the following files from the Märklin Web page under http://www.maerklin.de/d...ds/software_updates.html and store them in the main registry on this USB stick: cs2update.md5 cs2update.img" The thing is I cannot find these files there. Can someone suggest a link in order to find these two files for version 3.6 ?

Don't worry about finding the files, just connect your cs2 to the internet and then tell it to do a network update. It will find all the neccessary files on the Marklin server and do both stages of the update. There are various points at which it will stop and ask for confirmation, but once it proceeds it will find everything it needs to update to the very latest release.

I'll have a look around, I believe I still have the necessary file to update to 3.6.

I have done it with a cs2 that had very early software on it.

I have done it with a cs2 that had very early software on it. I have seen how ESU with theirs upgrades version must follow in every step by upgrade. I am possible sure TS will have problem by upgrade CS2. His old version must have been 10 years ago.
