To upgrade the F16V4 firmware:
1. Download the chosen F16V4 firmware fl3 file. This file will be named Falcon_16_Firmware_<build>.fl3
2. Either
- Place the file onto an SD card and place that SD card in the SD slot on the controller and reboot
the conntroller. When the controller boots it will copy the file into flash ram on the board. Remove
the SD card when done and reboot the controller; or
- Navigate to the settings page on the controller web menu and select the "Update Firmware" link and
upload the downloaded fl3 file. Once done the controller will reboot.
3. During the reboot the controller will validate the firmware. If it is incomplete or invalid the controller
will tell you and delete the firmware without changing anything.
4. If valid the controller will upgrade the firmware in generally the following order
- CPU 1
- CPU 2
- ESP (the wifi module code)
- ESP Files (the wifi web interface)
5. Then it will erase the firmware files from flash ram (so it doesnt keep doing the upgrade)
6. If successful the OLED screen and the status web page should show the correct build number. To check the
ESP (wifi) updated you will need to access the wifi page. If you dont use the wifi interface then you can
ignore this.
