Scope: This article is intended to provide a step by step guide for updating the standard (non-SRED) Augusta firmware with the bootloader tool. The updating the Minismart II should follow the same steps:

 

The most recent release version of the Augusta firmware package can be found here: Augusta - Downloads NON-SRED ONLY

The most recent release version of the Minismart II firmware package can be found here:  MiniSmart II - Downloads

The firmware package contains the latest released firmware file and bootloader. The images in this walkthrough may use an older version of firmware/bootloader, but the steps should remain the same.

Before beginning: 

  1. Ensure your Augusta is in USB-HID mode. If it is in keyboard mode, you can set it to USB-HID mode via the uDemo.
  2. Ensure that no other program is trying to interact with the Augusta during the bootloading process. Ex. the update will fail if both the bootloader and the uDemo are running. 

 

How to use the bootloader:

  1. unzip the firmware package.
  2. Open Bootloader: With the Augusta plugging into a USB port, run the "IDTechBootload.exe" file in the firmware package. It should look something like this:
