Hi!
Trying to use the FWUpdater (on Linux) to read/download the F/W from an existing camera (to be used for updating other cameras), eg:
FWUpdater -c 0 -f fw.guf --cmd Read
STEMMER IMAGING (c) 2025
No FeatureFileName specified
The Error message gives you the hint that you did not specify the feature name of the file node.
This is necessary so that the tool can select the correct file to download from the camera. You can look it up in the Nodemap with the “FileSelector” node. In my case, it is “Firmware1”.
The camera I used for testing does not support the FileOpenMode read, which made it not possible to test it on my side. If your cameras supports it the command could look like this using the specific serial number for identification:
FWUpdater -s [CameraSerialNumber] -n Firmware1 -f fw.guf --cmd Read

Thanx for the reply!
My specific camera (Dalsa Genie Nano) now gives another error:
’’’

If you still get the error that a node is not present, it is likely that your camera does not support to read out the firmware via the standard way we use in the FWUpdater.
