Firmware

Flymaster follows a policy of continuous improvement of its products. This means that a new
version of firmware can be uploaded from our website periodically. The update process is simple.

Before beginning update procedure make sure you download the next files from the download

page of NAV product section:

•

USB Drivers according the operating system (Windows, windows 7 64bits or MAC OS X)

•

The last version of the firmware (xxxFirmware.fmf)

•

The firmware updating software according the operating system (Flymaster Firmware Install).

The first step of the updating procedure consists in installing the USB drivers. In order to do

that you should run the drivers installation file and follow the on-screen instructions.

Next you need to install the update application, run the Flymaster firmware installer setup and

follow the on-screen instructions.

Once the driver and the update tool are correctly installed do the following procedure.

1. Double click the firmware file, this will start the Flymaster Firmware installer, with the

firmware path already inserted. Alternatively, open the Firmware installer, and insert the
path to the firmware file. (Figure

2. Click

Send Firmware

button. The message

waiting for Flymaster instrument...

will appear.

3. Connect the NAV to the PC using the cable supplied. If it is the first time the NAV is

connected to the PC, wait until Windows show the message that new hardware is present and
ready to use.

4. The update should start automatic, and a message appears saying

, and a

progress bar starts to grow. If after a few seconds nothing happens reset the NAV (click
at the same time the Menu and down arrow key for 2 seconds (see section 3.5 )). When the
