The librealsense Viewer supports several ways of notifying the user that a software or firmware update is available.
Both manual (clicking the Check for updates button) and automatic (when connecting a new device) triggers are possible.
The Viewer will try to download and query a versions database from the Internet and will create a version update notification based on the connected device's recommended version.
*The online versions database may be behind the GitHub SW releases webpage or RealSense FW releases webpage. We recommend checking those links for getting the latest released versions.
The SDK no longer ships a "bundled" firmware binary. To update firmware, download the appropriate .bin for your device directly from the RealSense FW releases webpage, then flash it via the Viewer's Update Firmware... menu, or with rs-fw-update -f <path-to-bin>.
