9. Firmware Update
The firmware in the RedEdge camera can be easily updated following these steps:
1. Copy the
rededge.bin
file to the
root
folder of any SD card (the SD card that came
with the camera is recommended).
2. With camera powered
OFF
, insert SD card into camera.
3. Provide a source of power (5.0 Volts DC at 5 Watts) to the camera and power camera
ON if it doesn’t power on automatically. The red light on the back of the camera will
immediately start to rapidly flash, indicating that the camera is installing the firmware.
When the red light stops flashing, the installation process is complete (should be less
than 30 seconds).
4. The camera should then boot up normally, and the light in the front will flash at
approximately a once per second interval.
5.
Verify the software was updated by checking the “Settings” page on the camera’s web
page. The firmware version number is shown at the bottom of the page.
6. Remove the SD card and delete the bin file (otherwise each time you power up the
camera, it will install the firmware).
