Advantech is excited to announce the latest version of ICR-OS, the proprietary firmware for our cellular routers. This major release brings a range of new features and improvements aimed at enhancing both the functionality and security of our routers. All newly assembled routers will come with this firmware version pre-installed.
For a full breakdown of the advancements and changes in this release, we encourage you to review the official Release Notes.
1. Minimum Severity Syslog Configuration: The Minimum Severity setting has been added to the Syslog service configuration across all platforms.
2. USB Ports Disabling: The ability to disable USB ports has been extended to all platforms for enhanced security.
3. Postinstall Scripts: Support for postinstall scripts has been added to RouterApps. These scripts can now be executed after a RouterApp is installed or during the first startup of a RouterApp following an update.
This firmware version is not intended for mass deployment. Given the significant changes introduced in this release, extensive testing is strongly recommended prior to deploying it in a production environment.
The new firmware can be downloaded directly to the router from Advantech's public server, or manually from the Firmware or Router Models pages. For specific firmware versions and compatibility details, please refer to the Firmware Compatibility Chart document.
