This page lists the official firmware releases of the Argon (servo drive) and the change log.

Firmware package - a firmware file with .gdf name extension that contains combined firmware for Argon I/O side processor and GraniteCore processor
I/O side - the I/O side processor of Argon. The source code of this processor is open source.
GraniteCore - the motion control processor inside the Argon.
Change log - the list of changes made since the previous package version.
Remarks - Notes

Firmware package version	Date	I/O side version	GraniteCore version	Change log	Remarks	Importance
0.9.0	1.7.2013	1000	1000	Development version	Shipped with the first production batch
1.0.0 download	1.9.2013	1000	1005	Initial official release	A requirement for Granity 1.0.0
1.0.1 download	3.9.2013	1000	1006	Add STAT_STO_ACTIVE statusbit Incremental setpoint change now changes also absolute setpoint readout value	A requirement for Granity 1.0.1	Functional
1.0.2 Not yet online	x.9.2013	1001	1007	New features: Analog in setpoint now has direction input to support 0-10V sources New AC/BLDC motor phasing algorithm with improvements when: Axis is heavy to move Axis is lies at the end of travel during power-on. Now it's possible to use Hall-sensorless phasing when axis lies at the end of travel. Requires limit switches on axis. Feature to invert the polarity of motor positive/negative direction. Parameter AXI on Granity. Bug fixes: Hall sensor fix Phasing under high friction Toggling of general purpose input lines no longer clear faults in case of clear faults signal is constantly on while other signals change state Limit switches now work properly in torque control mode Adjustments: Goal deviation default fault filter time reduced from 0.2 to 0.1 s Space vector modulation code cleanup Default motor direction is inverted compared to the earlier versions (tick AXI to set it same way it was before this version)		Important in some cases

+New features:
 *Analog in setpoint now has direction input to support 0-10V sources
-*Hall sensor fix
+*New AC/BLDC motor [[Phasing a.k.a. phase search|phasing algorithm]] with improvements when:
-*AC/BLDC motor phasing reliability improved in the cases where
 **Axis is heavy to move
-**Axis is lies at the end of travel during power-on
+**Axis is lies at the end of travel during power-on. Now it's possible to use Hall-sensorless phasing when axis lies at the end of travel. Requires limit switches on axis.
+*Feature to invert the polarity of motor positive/negative direction. Parameter [[AXI]] on [[Granity]].
+Bug fixes:
+*Hall sensor fix
+*Phasing under high friction
+*Toggling of general purpose input lines no longer clear faults in case of clear faults signal is constantly on while other signals change state
