Smol Updating Firmware
Required Tools
You only need the following if you are using precompiled firmware:
- nRF Connect for Desktop (Programmer) for flashing Nordic or eByte Dongles only
- nRF Connect for Desktop (Serial Terminal) for sending commands to your Receiver/Trackers, see alternatives
- Or SmolSlimeConfigurator, an all-in-one programming and configuration tool for your Smol Slimes.
- SlimeVR Server
- 0.13.2 or later version
Steps
For flashing new trackers and receivers, check the Flashing Firmware Guide.
- Download the latest firmware version from Pre-Compiled Firmware.
- Connect your tracker to your computer via USB, and ensure it is powered on.
- Run the
dfucommand in your terminal. - Your tracker will appear as a USB drive labelled
SLIMENRFTRKorNICENANOetc. (depending on your tracker hardware) - Copy the UF2 firmware file to your tracker.
- If your tracker isn't paired after update, see Adding More Trackers.
A Windows error after copying firmware is common and does not mean it failed. Check the commit version in the terminal if you are unsure.
Be sure to flash the correct firmware version! Incorrect firmware can cause your tracker to become unresponsive.
