# Firmware Releases

{% hint style="info" %}
**Attempting to reload firmware after upgrading to 1.2.x?**

Releases prior to 1.2.0 were encrypted with an outer key A with an inner encryption key A.\
Starting with release 1.2.0, releases are encrypted with an outer key of encryption key A, but, has a new inner encryption key B.

If you attempt to re-upload the 1.2.x firmware it will fail to decrypt as it was signed and encrypted with key A.

You must load the other 1.2.x → 1.2.x releases of your choosing in the right two tabs as those releases were signed/encrypted with key B.

## What Version Is Required For Official Competitions?

Radios must be updated to at least 2.0.0 to be used at official events in the 2026 FIRST FRC Competition season. If your radio is running a version prior to 2.0.0, it will be upgraded to the latest version when you use the Radio Kiosk at an official FIRST event.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://frc-radio.vivid-hosting.net/overview/firmware-releases.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
