Upgrading

Upgrading from INAV 8.0

Download and install the new INAV Configurator 9.0
Backup configuration with CLI diff all command or use the Diff All and Save to file buttons.
Flash INAV 9.0 WITH Full Chip Erase option enabled
Load your 8.0 Diff settings in to the CLI. Then take a note or write down the incompatible settings changes marked in RED.
Then copy your 8.0 Diff file and rename it 9.0. And edit the old incompatible settings.
Go to CLI and load your edited INAV 9.0 Diff
Done

Tip

Concerning step 6.
It can be a safer option to load your Diff All settings in two parts if you are using multiple Profiles. e.g. Control, Mixer or Battery.
This can be done by copying and loading the Diff All text setting from the top, down to the bottom of the # master settings category. Then load that into the CLI and press enter. Once it has written, press the Save Settings button.
Wait until it reboots and go back to the CLI tab again, then copy and load the rest of the Diff All text file. Starting from the # Control_profile 1 settings category, down to the bottom. Press enter. Once written, it will save by itself.

Diff update tool

Rather than steps 4 and 5 above. You can try this diff update tool. This is a work in progress. Currently it will try to update version 7 or later diffs to version 8 or later. Just paste your full diff all (not dump) in to the tool. Select the INAV version you're upgrading to. Then press the button. It will create a new diff for you and give you warnings about anything you should check.
