Manual Firmware Update

Overview

New features are added to your Yardian from time to time, and sometimes they require firmware updates. For firmware versions earlier than 6.6.5, you’ll need to use a USB drive to update manually. Once you have a firmware version of 6.6.5 or newer, you can simply start the firmware update process in your app for future updates through the OTA (over-the-air) automatic update mechanism. 

Note: Firmware OTA update will be available soon in the Yardian app version 3.10.5.

Check Your Firmware Version

Please go to the "Device Settings" page, then you can find your firmware version. 

Manual Firmware Update Using A USB Drive

Prepare The USB Drive

For the USB drive, FAT32 format is required. The size should be less than or equal to 8GB.

1. Please download the zip file.
2. Unzip the downloaded zip file and save the firmware file(s) in a USB drive.
   DO NOT put them in any folder.
