Prerequisites
To perform a BLE update:
·
You must have the file you will be sending into your device. BLE upgrades use
Tibbo Composite Uncompressed (.TCU)
firmware files. All TiOS firmware and
related files are published here:

.
·
You will have to install the
Tibbo Updater
app (available for iOS and Android) on
your compatible device.
·
There are three ways of accessing .TCU files from the app:
o
You can select one of Tibbo's officially released .TCU files (it is not possible to
access your own .TCU files in this manner);
o
You can open a .TCU file that you previously saved on your device or in the
iCloud or Dropbox folder; or
o
You can "copy" (export, share) a .TCU file to the
Tibbo Updater
app from some
other app that has this file. For example, you can email a .TCU file as an
attachment and open this email in the email client app on your iOS/Android
device. You can then "copy" the attached file to the
Tibbo Updater
app.
