Hello A question for the experts regarding GX units.

Where does the built-in GX device get its power supply from if you want to remotely update the firmware to an e.g. EasySolar or MultiplusII-GX? Considering "Confirm that the GX is not powered by the inverter. In order to remotely update the firmware on the VE.Bus system, it is important that the GX is not powered by the inverter." Grateful if someone can clarify the matter.

They are powered by the battery terminals. DC source. So remains on as long as the battery does.

The GX module is connected to the DC bus internally and is only switched by the switch at the bottom of the MultiPlus/EasySolar.

It would be pretty stupid if Victron had build it in a way that it won't work with it's own update mechanism.
