When it comes to updating firmware, most recent Aurora products generally use one of 2 methods to transfer the firmware file:
- Upload the firmware file to the device web setup page
- Use a TFTP client to upload the firmware file
The latter requires the use of a 3rd party TFTP client to complete. Aurora recommends the following opensource client: https://pjo2.github.io/tftpd64/
NOTE: Despite their similar names, TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) differs from standard FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and generally requires a different client software
Updating firmware with TFTP
- Download the firmware and TFTP client
- Open the TFTP client and select the TFTP Client tab
- From the Server interfaces dropdown, select the network that your device is on
- The host will be the IP address of the DIDO. The port will be the default TFTP port (69).
- Press the button next to Local File and browse to the firmware
- Press the Start Update button in the DIDO web setup page
- Wait a few seconds until the firmware update mode is active. The device screen should indicate that it is in FW UPDATE MODE.
- In the TFTP client, press the Put button. You should see progress as the file transfers.
- When complete, you should get a success message
- The device should now reboot with the new firmware
