Copy files to the root directory of the microSD card with FAT32 filesystem (how to format microSD to FAT32 on Windows and Mac you can read here), insert into On-board computer (contacts on top) and run the update process.
Do not downgrade firmware that was installed by the manufacturer! You may get a brick
Each device has its own firmware and is updated separately from different menus. It does not matter in what order you update the firmware of the devices. If you have older firmware, you can install the latest firmware at once, without having to install the firmware one by one.
If you already have firmware version v0.75B and higher installed in the On-board computer, then the order in which devices are updated does not matter, since in firmware v0.75B the ability to force the update of the controller and other devices connected to the CAN bus through the menu of the On-board computer was added. You can read more about Forced update of devices in this section.
If your On-board computer has firmware v0.60B or lower and Controller v.7.18 and lower, first, need to update all devices but display. Because menu protocol is new and old devices will not be visible in the menu. After the update is finished hold the left button few seconds to exit the updated device menu. If the button does not work you may need to reset the power supply or replug CAN cable in the On-board computer. After everything is updated — update the On-board computer. Make a controller reset (load defaults) after the update. We recommend running motor detects again on controllers. Detection of throttle/brake connected to display should be done in the On-board computer menu.
