Phoenix Inverter 24V/2500W firmware upgrade

Hi

This is possible to upgrade the firmware of a Phoenix Inverter running on 1510115 firmware ?

Needed for me to connect to Victron VRM or Connect.

VEFlash could not connect to the inverter via the MK2-USB interface so the firmware upgrade is not working.

Another question: soldering a new IC on the PCB with newer firmware (provided from another inverter, same model) should work ?

That unit is 15 years old or more..
VictronConnect needs the new microprocessor (26 or 27) and a GX device (needed for VRM) needs at last the previous processor (19 or 20).

I don't think soldering a new CPU on the old PCB or changing the whole PCB will not work because there are more changes than just the CPU.
