How to Update

When running firmware is 0.9.9 or newer, the stick with the update must be inserted prior to boot and the machine will ask you whether to update or not. After installing the update, your Chip2Go will reboot and ask you again whether to update or not. Unplug the USB drive now, then abort the message. You may be asked to install 2 further updates, which you can't abort. After installing these updates, your Chip2Go is updated and can be used again.

Note: there must not be more than one firmware file on the USB drive and the drive must be formatted as FAT32.

pre-0.9.9

Download the latest update below and copy this file to a USB drive. Connect the USB drive to the Chip2Go machine and after a short while the LED on the programming antenna will start to flash red and Green

Once the LED changes to just green remove the USB drive and the machine will reboot with the new firmware.

Note: there must not be more than one firmware file on the USB drive.
