Information:

  • Varia firmware can be separated in to an OS update and various app updates
    • A feature may be broken in the OS version but fixed in the app version
    • Please read the below information carefully and reference the app update page for any updates separate from the OS
  • Varia firmware can only be updated, firmware cannot be downgraded
    • This is not a bug but how the OS works
    • Please be aware of any known issues before updating

Base OS/Varia Firmware

During the firmware update, the Varia Updater screen may not show. This prevents the user from tracking the firmware update progress. However, the firmware is updating. Please wait about 20-25 mins after transfer to observe that the firmware updated successfully.

 

Downloads:

Version: 2.13.25
Release Date: November 13th, 2025

SW_AMX-Varia-OS_2.13.25.zip


Prerequisites:

  • None

Known Issues:

  • Any button with a touch style of Active Touch that also has a bitmap image assigned to it, will stop functioning if you upgrade to 2.13.25.
    • The workaround is to change the touch style of the button to Bounding Box OR update to the newest Varia G5 App
  • Multiple streaming videos can cause the G5 app to restart if the panel runs out of memory
  • After changing persona from Manager, a panel reboot may be required for Manager to recognize the newly selected persona
  • A firmware update may reset the display timeout to “Never Sleep”
  • An Advanced Settings Reset may not revert Hostname, Proxy, or HControl name back to default values
  • In Android 13, the Network Hostname is the same as the OS Device Name. If a custom hostname is required, the device name must be changed in the OS Settings

Revision History:

  • Version 2.13.25
    • G5 Control
      • RESOLVED: Sending the ^LVF command without the filter character sequence does not clear the filter
      • RESOLVED: Sending the ^LVR command fails to load/populate the Listview display widget
      • RESOLVED: Secondary text is not displayed on a Listview button
      • RESOLVED: Listview buttons on a subpage are not populated after a panel reboot
    • Other
      • RESOLVED:  Domain Exclusion List is not shown in Manager
      • NEW: Firmware Updates are now identified by a gear icon in the lower-left corner, vs. the previous full-screen “Varia Updater Screen”
        • Pressing the gear icon will show the full-screen Updater
      • HControl names may contain a dot (".")
 
 

G5 App

Downloads:

Version: 1.7.23.145
Release Date: January 13, 2026

SW_APPS_AMX-Varia-1-7-23


Information:

  • This package is an app update, not a full firmware build.
  • A factory reset will revert apps back to the base versions included in firmware version 2.13.25
  • It is highly recommended the latest FW version 2.13.25 is loaded on the panel before updating apps.
     

Prerequisites:

  • Required base OS firmware 2.13.25

Known Issues:

  • Multiple streaming videos can cause the G5 app to restart if the panel runs out of memory
  • After changing persona from Manager, a panel reboot may be required for Manager to recognize the newly selected persona
  • A firmware update may reset the display timeout to “Never Sleep”
  • An Advanced Settings Reset may not revert Hostname, Proxy, or HControl name back to default values
  • In Android 13, the Network Hostname is the same as the OS Device Name.  If a custom hostname is required, the device name must be changed in the OS Settings
  • Button miss sound may be inconsistent when using “Active Touch”

 

  • These Listview issues will be addressed in an upcoming firmware update:
    • Listview buttons not populated after panel reboot
      • workaround: swipe/scroll the subpages section to update the Listview buttons
    • ^LVD command failed to load new data source on existing subpage set
      • workaround: use a new subpage set on a pop-up or new page
    • ^SAD may not properly add subpage to the end of the set
