Overview
VP3300 kernel version 1.10 reconfigures the internal file storage system offer more storage space for applications. However, to accomplish this, the kernel update must optimize existing storage space, requiring users to back-up information such as keys, contact/contactless configurations, and similar information.

Note: If the existing customer data exceeds the newly-configured storage space, the kernel update will instead load the default device configuration. |
The Kernel Update Process
Two kernel updates are required to complete the optimization: to v1.05, which handles the file system optimization, and v1.10, in which users can re-load their configurations. The diagram below covers four major steps:
- The v1.05 kernel update process creates a data backup for the application program area data and creates a temporary storage area for the file system.
- The kernel update reconfigures the device's file system to create a smaller file system storage area.
- The kernel update moves the file system from the temporary storage area to the new file system area.
- The v1.10 kernel update reconfigures the application program area, increasing the available storage space.
After completing the process, users can re-load their application data.
