Tom,
For firmware v2.x builds, there are now just 4:
V1_experimental.hex V1 Hardware Module, experimental firmware
V1_production.hex V1 Hardware Module, production firmware
V2_experimental.hex V2 Hardware Module, experimental firmware
V2_production.hex V2 Hardware Module, production firmware
A single firmware supports multiple vehicle types (selectable at run-time based on parameter #14 (or the fourth argument to the "MODULE" SMS command).
It may be worth pointing out the following on the update page:
> For Tesla Roadster owners, once you upgrade firmware from v1 to v2, you will need to either:
> (a) SMS "MODULE" command again to include the fourth parameter vehicle type "TR", or
> (b) use the iOS App to set parameter #14 to "TR" (you can even do this in the App _before_ you upgrade).
> You will require this for the CAN bus stuff to work. We have updated the Tesla Roadster user guide to reflect this new parameter.
Regards, Mark.
