Firmware Updates

The linked mini-receiver guide uses the rf-bm-bg22c3 firmware build. It describes over-the-air updates with WavePhoenix Web in Google Chrome on a Bluetooth-equipped computer or Android phone, and SWD flashing as another method. Over-the-air updates require the bootloader. The guide uses .gbl files for over-the-air updates and .hex files for SWD flashing. Follow the instructions for your receiver before updating.
