Firmware update
Firmware images for v0.xx series. Since v0.74, a few firmware variants with following suffixes are available:
- aud: Audio-enabled firmware for v1.6-> boards and earlier boards with audio add-on board installed
- jp: Japanese translation
- aud_jp: Audio + Japanese translation
Firmware images for v1.xx series. Only a single variant is available.
FW update requires a microSD card (>2GB SDHC/SDXC cards supported from fw. 0.74 onwards) and a program to write the binary file as a disk image to the card (Win32 Disk Imager, dd etc.). The card can be then inserted to OSSC, after which the update process can be started by selecting the update option from the menu and following on-screen instructions. When update is complete, power should be turned off and SD card removed. New fw is activated when system is powered on next time. Profiles and general settings (under "Setting opt") are not generally compatible between different firmware versions.

Firmware updates can be prepared on Windows, Mac and Linux computers by using the Etcher software. You may need to rename the firmware file, changing the file extension from ".bin" to ".img".
