Firmware window

Software > VR Tool > Menus > Firmware window

In Firmware window you can see firmware and bootloader versions of the actual device. You can also update firmware in your device using this window:

Updating firmware from server

If there is a new version of firmware published the tool can automatically download it and update your device. There are two ways how to do that: using a notification or manually.

If using the Standalone version of VR Tool, this functionality is not available. You can update the firmware only manualy – please see section Updating firmware from file.

Using notification

If there is a new firmware on the server the tool will show this window:

If you press Dismiss, the update will be canceled.
If you press Update, the update will start. Then you will continue as in section Updating firmware from file from step 3.

Manually

You can also manually check for firmware updates by pressing Search for updates button.

If there is an update available, you will continue as in Using notification section.
If there is not an update available, you will see this window:

Updating firmware from file

Step 1. Upload firmware

By pressing Upload firmware you initiate the upload.

Step 2. Select file

Select firmware file and select Open or doubleclick the file (you can get the latest firmware version from VR Tool folder).

Step 3. Confirm version

Confirm the selected firmware by pressing the OK button.

If you see the notice – “Selected version is older than current version” – please choose newer version of the firmware file (or continue if you know what you are doing). Otherwise it could lead to unexpected results in device’s behavior.

If you see the following window, you have selected a file that is not valid firmware file.

If you see the following window, you have bootloader version older than 2.0 and you are trying to update to firmware with version older than 2.0. These versions are not compatible.
