How to retrieve the firmware version from the log file?
Kaleido-K2 logs information about the system, the discovered devices and problems encountered. The versions of the firmware in use in the system is also logged in the log file.
First you must locate the log file: from the Desktop of your Kaleido-K2, click on the "My Computer" icon and navigate to the "C:\iControl\Startup" folder. In this folder you will see the "Kaleido.log" file and possibly other files named "Kaleido.log.1", "Kaleido.log.2" up to "Kaleido.log.5". These files are all log files but to get the most recent information you must use the "Kaleido.log" file.
Then you must open the log file to search information in it. This research is conducted from the end of the file because the same log file is used for more than one session. The most recent information are added to the end of the file:
- Select the "Kaleido.log" file to open.
- Right click on it and select "Open With" from the contextual menu.
- In the "Choose the program you want to use:" section select "Notepad" or any other text editor.
- Select the "Always use this program to open these files" option if you want to always open your log files with the Notepad (or the selected text editor).
- Click on the "Ok" button.
- Position the cursor to the end of the file, either by using the scroll bar and clicking at the end of the text or by pressing "Ctrl-End".
- From the end of the file, press "Ctrl-F" or select "Find" from the "Edit" menu and use the "Find" tool to find text like the following example:

This block contains information about the card detected and about firmware and hardware versions:
- The first three lines are used to separate the blocks.
- The fourth line indicates the slot number and the type of card found in it.
- The next line indicates the hardware version, the package number and the mode.
- The next two lines give information about the DSP version.
- The last two lines are about the FPGA version.
