+== Updating Device Firmware
+
+ TeleGPS is programmed directly over its USB connectors.
+
+ You may wish to begin by ensuring you have current firmware images.
+ These are distributed as part of the TeleGPS software bundle that
+ also includes the TeleGPS ground station program. Newer ground
+ station versions typically work fine with older firmware versions,
+ so you don't need to update your devices just to try out new
+ software features. You can always download the most recent
+ version from http://www.altusmetrum.org/AltOS/
+
+ === Updating TeleGPS Firmware
+
+ . Attach a battery and power switch to the target
+ device. Power up the device.
+
+ . Using a Micro USB cable, connect the target device to
+ your computer's USB socket.
+
+ . Run TeleGPS, and select 'Flash Device' from the
+ Device menu.
+
+ . Select the target device in the Device Selection
+ dialog.
+
+ . Select the image you want to flash to the device,
+ which should have a name in the form
+ <product>-v<product-version>-<software-version>.ihx,
+ such as TeleGPS-v1.0-1.4.0.ihx.
+
+ . Make sure the configuration parameters are reasonable
+ looking. If the serial number and/or RF configuration
+ values aren't right, you'll need to change them.
+
+ . Hit the 'OK' button and the software should proceed
+ to flash the device with new firmware, showing a
+ progress bar.
+
+ . Verify that the device is working by using the
+ 'Configure Device item to check over the
+ configuration.
