Updating Device Firmware
The basic firmware upgrade procedure can be found below, please follow these steps carefully:
After you're done with upgrading, you can use the Pymakr Plugins to upload and run programs in your device.
- Before connecting your module to a Pysense / Pytrack board, you should update the firmware on the Pysense/Pytrack board. Instructions on how to do this can be found here.
- Disconnect your device from your computer
- Insert module into Expansion Board
- On Expansionboard 2.0, connect a jumper cable or wire between
G23andGND
- On Expansionboard 2.0, connect a jumper cable or wire between
- Reconnect the board via USB to your computer

After you're done with upgrading, you can use the Pymakr Plugins to upload and run programs in your device.
Common issues:
- If you are having any issues, make sure the TX and RX jumpers are present on your Expansion Board, as the jumpers sometimes come loose in the box during transport. Without these jumpers, the updater will fail.
- On MacOS, the firmware upgrade tool needs access to the
/tmpfolder - On MacOS, there is an issue with signing of the firmware tool. Go to system preferences --> Security & Privacy --> General, and click "Allow" for the Pycom Firmware Updater tool.
