The host library should automatically identify which firmware version your device requires and warn the user if he tries to flash the wrong one. This is decided according to the device's serial number.

The following serial number variations require a SKU2 firmware:

120X6228XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXX
122X6228XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXX
XXXX6229XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXX

Recommended Firmware:
F450_4.0.0.37_SKU1_SIGNED.bin.bin/F450_4.0.0.37_SKU2_SIGNED.bin.bin

• New device config options to support multiple faces and algorithm options:

  • FaceSelectionPolicy:
    • Single (default, authenticate closest face).
    • All (authenticate all detected faces (up to 5)).

• Fixed device settings issue with 'advanced mode'.
• Fixed crash caused by trying to resume/pause preview while updating firmware.
• Fixed a crash caused by incorrect order of de-allocating resources.
