Continuous firmware releases from Xsens are scheduled to add new features,
improvements, and bug fixes. With Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates available in Xsens
DOT, you can easily update the sensors to latest version with Xsens DOT App.
NOTES:
•
Make sure App is updated to the latest version first before carrying out the OTA.
•
Sensors can only upgrade or downgrade when
in charging status
.
•
Do not exit the update page or close the App during OTA.
•
Network connection is required for OTA.
3.5.1
Firmware update
Once the sensor is connected, you can receive firmware update notifications if a new
version of firmware is available in Xsens DOT App. If no notification is received, the current
firmware version is up to date.
Follow these steps to perform a firmware update:
1.
Put sensors in charging status
2.
Open Xsens DOT App and connect the sensors you want to upgrade
3.
Follow the notification badge, go to
Advanced
→
Device Firmware Update
,
choose
Upgrade
4.
Check available new firmware version, select sensors to upgrade
5.
Check release notes and start upgrade
6.
Check upgrade status after all upgrade is done. The sensor will automatically reboot
after firmware upgrade
7.
Wait 10 seconds for sensor rebooting and then you can connect the sensors again
to experience the new firmware.
For SDK users, an interface is added in SDK to send out a notification if there is a new
firmware available. Thus, the applications developed with SDK can have an immediate
notification for a new firmware. Refer to Firmware update notification sections in the SDK
programming guides.
3.5.2
Firmware downgrade
Firmware downgrade function is provided to downgrade
beta
firmware versions to the last
stable version. However, if a new stable version is available, beta versions cannot rollback
to previous stable versions but instead the update to the subsequent stable version is
preferred. If downgrading to a previous firmware version is needed, contact technical
support.
