If your Portenta X8 is flashed with the OS release V.399 and you have a carrier compatible with Portenta X8 (like Portenta Breakout), we recommend you to update it to the latest image release by following [this tutorial](https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/portenta-x8/image-flashing#flashing-mode-with-carrier).

These commands will make your V.399 compatible with [aklite-offline](https://docs.foundries.io/latest/user-guide/offline-update/offline-update.html) tool and will allow you to update your Portenta X8 to the latest image version Arduino released at that point in time. Arduino provides this tool for free for any Portenta X8 user to enable offline secure updates to all devices, even if those devices are not connected to any FoundriesFactory.
