17 17  Due to the large file size for processor firmware, the most efficient method of updating firmware is to use dedicated third-party SFTP and SSH clients rather than built-in Toolbox functions. This allows for rapidly transferring the large firmware file to the device and then running the update without locking up Toolbox and preventing you from working on other devices while the firmware update is performed.

27 -Crestron's Package Update Tool is the most convenient way of performing firmware updates for devices that use .puf files for firmware. While the Package Update Tool can be opened from within Crestron Toolbox, we recommend just double-clicking the .puf file to open the tool directly. When updating firmware with the Package Update Tool in Toolbox, the tool will lock Toolbox and only allow updating one device at a time
26 +Crestron's Package Update Tool is the most convenient way of performing firmware updates for devices that use .puf files for firmware. The Package Update Tool can be opened from Toolbox, but doing this will lock Toolbox and only allow updating one device at a time, so we recommend instead that you double-click the .puf file directly. Double-clicking a .puf file will allow you to open multiple instance of the Package Update Tool and enable updating multiple devices simultaneously. Once again, **be careful when updating multiple devices simultaneously not to do anything that would disrupt your connection to a device while transferring the .puf file, nor should you do anything that could result in the device rebooting while it is mid-update**.
