5. Firmware Update
This chapter describes the procedure to update the ICDmini Ver. 3.0 firmware.
(1) Removing the bottom cover
Make sure that nothing is connected with the ICDmini Ver. 3.0 and remove the bottom cover by unscrewing
the two screws.

(2) Setting the jumper switch
Remove the jumper pin, which is inserted into one side of the jumper switch terminals located at lower side
of the PCB in the case, remove it once and then reinsert to short the jumper switch terminals. (Using
tweezers allows removing/inserting of the jumper pin with relative ease.)

(3) Connecting with the host computer
With the bottom cover removed, connect the ICDmini Ver. 3.0 to the host computer using the supplied USB
cable. Then open a file explorer on the host computer.
(4) Rewriting the firmware
An unused drive of the host computer is allocated to the ICDmini Ver. 3.0 as a storage device. The file
explorer shows that the “firmware.bin” file exists in this drive. Replace this file with the latest firmware data
file.
