How to update or load a firmware on Emy & Terminal ?

Option 1 ( requires the Emy version 2.1 or bigger to be installed first)

  • Download the firmware
  • Save it on the SD card with a name that makes sense to you (like “emy.bin” )
  • load it from the code>flash menu.
  • If changing the add-on vox :
    • switch the power off
    • install the add-on vox
    • re-apply power

Note This function simply

  • copies the firmware “blalbla.bin” to “firmware.bin”
  • reboots the system
  • deletes the firmware.bin
  • keeps the original with its name.

You can keep all the firmware on the microSD card and call them whenever you change the add-on vox

Note : Change the firmware before changing the add-on vox

Option 2

  • Download the firmware
  • Save the firmware exactly as “firmware.bin” on the SD card (and not “blabla.bin”)
  • Re-apply power
