My Notecard firmware is version notecard-2.1.1. The current firmware version is v3.x, and the lowest supported version is 2.11.0. Reviewing the ‘[Firmware Update Process](https://dev.blues.io/notecard/notecard-firmware-updates/#firmware-update-process)’ instructions, it seems that it will be necessary for me to mount my Swan to the Notecarrier-F (with my WiFi Notecard installed) in order to update the _Notecard_ firmware. Is this correct? Is the process the same for both a WiFi Notecard and a cellular Notecard? ---

Hi @markwkiehl, You don’t need the Swan to update the Notecard firmware, just Notecard + Notecarrier. There are two ways for you to update the firmware yourself, either [over-the-air using Notehub](https://dev.blues.io/notecard/notecard-firmware-updates/#ota-dfu-with-notehub) or a [manual update over USB](https://dev.blues.io/notecard/notecard-firmware-updates/#manual-dfu) using STM32CubeProgrammer. And yes the procedure is the same for both Cellular and Wi-Fi Notecards. Thanks, Rob
