Firmware updates via the DALI interface are now part of DALI-2 certification

August 29, 2023

The DALI Alliance has extended its DALI-2 certification program to include firmware updates via the DALI interface in devices including control gear, application controllers and input devices such as sensors. Firmware updates are specified in Part 105 of the IEC 62386 standard.

Part 105 defines how firmware in a DALI device can be updated after production or shipping of the product, or in the field. Updates are made via the DALI interface. This can be done either to fix bugs and improve performance, or to add new features.

To provide further support for firmware updates, the DALI Alliance has published a guidance document entitled “Firmware update checklist", which can be used to manage the risk of updating firmware at a live site in the field.

The “Firmware update checklist” and additional information about firmware updates and the upcoming Edition 2 of Part 105 is available here:
