Firmware UpgradeUpdated 4 months ago

The firmware can be upgraded in three ways: USB, SD card and OTA, so you can choose the appropriate upgrade way according to your device model.

*note: 

1. “○” means the firmware can upgrade by this way.
2. “Firmware Vx.x.x” means the firmware can upgrade by this way, but it need firmware version x.x.x and above version.
3.  “×” means the firmware can not upgrade by this way.
4.  “-” means none.
5. If your device is upgraded via USB, you need to prepare a USB; if your device is upgraded via SD card,  you need to prepare a SD card with RAM no more than 32G. For cards larger than 32GB, use the Rufus tool to format the SD card to FAT32. Download the tool from https://rufus.ie/en/. Tip: When replacing it with a higher-capacity card, please be mindful of the memory card's maximum read/write cycles and lifespan.
