Migration from E8 to E8a

Switchover from E8 to E8a

The E8a uses the same connecting functions (connector and circuit) as the E8 when connecting to the user systems. Hence, there is no need to change the user's board. However, in order to use the E8a with the workspace generated by the E8, the installation of software for the E8a and the addition of sessions are required.

For the guide about the method to add sessions for the E8a to the workspace for the E8, see Guide to Migration from E8 to E8a (PDF | English, 日本語).
