Updating ctxLink

Sid Price edited this page Aug 26, 2019 · 4 revisions

ctxLink makes use of the STM32 built-in bootloader to enable users to update the firmware. To update the firmware a DFU compatible application is required. "dfu-util" is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac from SourceForge.

If you are working with Windows a driver must also be installed to access the DFU device. This may be done by downloading the Zadig tool.

ctxLink is placed in bootloader mode by holding down the "Mode" button and them momentarily pressing the Reset button.

To update the ctxLink firmware use the following command line, executed in the folder that contains the new firmware.

Windows -> dfu-util.exe -a 0 -s 0x08000000 -D blackmagic.bin
Linux/Max -> ./dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08000000 -D blackmagic.bin
