- Create identified errors and problems, for example, with an interface or connection of peripheral devices.
- Add new features that implemented software developer during the development process.
- Provide compatibility with applications (third-party developers often support only the latest version of the operating system, since backward compatibility with old versions requires an increase in programmers).
TIZEN OS is a free open source platform, however, regular programmers are engaged in its support. Therefore, this operating system can be called a full-fledged commercial product. TV manufacturers on which Tizen is installed, guarantee the necessary functions and user security.
The update mechanism works automatically. The firmware is downloaded over the protected channel, and before installing it is checked for the integrity of the file. This approach minimizes possible errors.
The firmware is not provided for all devices, but only for those models for which improvements were made.

The display will show information about the connected drive with the software file, as well as the version of the current firmware. Before installing, it is desirable to learn installation instructions. Click on the "Run" button to start updating software.
