Firmware Update
IO-Lights firmware can be easily updated with any web browser supporting
and
instrumentsofthings.com/io-app
). The current firmware
version of attached IO-Lights is shown at the bottom of the web app. If a new
firmware is available on our website, the new version number is shown at the bottom.
Caution! Do not disconnect or turn off your host device during upgrade! IO-Lights
will automatically reboot after successful upgrade (startup LED animation appears).
Note: IO-Lights settings are set to factory defaults after each upgrade.
After clicking the Upgrade Button, an alert appears which has to be confirmed.
Afterwards IO-Lights switches into upgrade (DFU) mode. Thus, IO-Lights does not
appear as a MIDI device anymore. In a new dialog window, you have to select
STM32
BOOTLOADER
as device and confirm. Now the new firmware from our website is
directly written to the flash memory of IO-Lights (takes a few seconds). After
successful upgrade, IO-Lights automatically reboots and shows a startup LED
animation.
Note: Windows needs additional drivers for firmware upgrades
clock sync is enabled.
Default: On
Persist Button
Saves the current configuration parameters to IO-Lights internal
flash memory to make them available after reboot. After
successful persistation, a short LED animation appears
(clockwise circle animation).
Upgrade Button
If a new firmware is available on our server, the upgrade button
can be clicked, which causes IO-Lights to switch to upgrade
(DFU) mode. After selecting the device (STM32 BOOTLOADER),
the recent firmware is transmitted from our server directly to
IO-Lights. After successful upgrade, IO-Lights will automatically
reboot and show the LED startup animation. Note: The internal
settings are set to factory defaults after each upgrade.
