What is an FRI file

  • Firmware Image: Often used as a flash memory data file.
  • Firmware Update File: Commonly processed with tools like the V860 FRI Converter.
  • Flash ROM Image: Employed in updating devices like Delta PLCs, with support from tools such as Flash Magic.

    How to open an FRI file

    You need a suitable software like Flash Magic to open an FRI file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your FRI file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a FRI file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
