If you only have the basic compiler (PCM PCH etc.), then 'forget it'.
If you have the Windows IDE (PCW), then you can add an updated device _provided it only uses hardware features that are already supported by the compiler_.
Tools.
Device editor.
Select the nearest device that exists.
Select 'copy', and enter the new device name.
Then in the device editor, turn on/off the changes between the old and new devices (more RAM, some peripherals different etc..).
Also make a copy of the .h include file.
If there are peripherals in this device, that don't exist in the 'old' unit, copy the entries for these from the .h file of another device that does have these features.
If the device has features that are not yet supported by the compiler, then omit these, and you will then have to manually write drivers for these components if you want them.

So I just can upgrade by myself. I can't download it from CCS website?

Sure you can get updates from the CCS website...if you have active download rights/subscription.
