A couple of days ago, I put out a video on how to update ETHOS. It appears though I may have been going too fast for people who aren't computer literate. So here is a slower version, explaining all that you need to know to complete this process. I hope you will find this process easier with this video.

** Update **
The naming of the SD card and FLASH drive contents is changing. From version 1.0.11 onwards, if you are using a Tandem transmitter (currently X20 and X20S) you should download the TANDEM_FLASH and TANDEM_SD files.
Between 1.0.6 and 1.0.10 they had been named X20_SD and X20_FLASH, which caused confusion. People thought it was just for that transmitter, and not for the X20S also.

Yeah this caught me out, until someone on FB mentioned downloading the TANDEM files, then it clicked for me. No issues on the radio display if you forget though, but safer to update the SD and FLASH files anyway. On a side note, I noticed that the firmware.bin firmware file that is downloaded on the SD card, disappears from the SD card once the radio uploads it. No issues, actually good so older firmwares don’t get confused with the current one.
@MrD
@MrD 2 года назад
The file names have literally just changed with this latest version (1.0.11). It’s my fault too as I was hearing about the old names confusing people. So suggested they make this change. Yes, once the firmware update takes place, the firmware.bin file is deleted.

This will be my first update, seems pretty simple. Quick question, I’ve never had to do updates before coming from Futaba so this is all new to me. When I update software on the transmitter, do you also have to update your receivers? Hope this is not a stupid question. Also does this have the potential to wipe out all the models you already have programmed on your radio?
@MrD
@MrD Год назад
Hi Jonny. Questions like that are never stupid. No, the RF firmware is separate to ETHOS. At the moment, ETHOS Suite does not update the RF firmware; though this may change in the future. You can check the version of your RF firmware in the System -> Info screen on your transmitter. You need to have the internal RF module enabled. Then it will show you the FW version of the module. If you have any ACCESS or TANDEM receivers active. It will also show the firmware version of those receivers. If you look up your transmitter on www.frsky-rc.com/ and go to the downloads page for your transmitter. The latest version of the RF firmware will be found there in the "RF FIRMWARE - TD Module" section. If you update this, you should also update your receivers. There is always a risk that something can go wrong in an update. No matter how rare. It is always worth taking a backup of the models on your transmitter before updating. I've only had a problem once, on a much older firmware update. Backing up your models is now really easy with ETHOS Suite. I show how in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fvxbYacd-bk.html

@MrD
@MrD 2 года назад
I can’t find any reference to this method. As far as I know, you can only flash ETHOS by putting the firmware.bin file in the root of the MicroSD card. Or are you simply meaning removing the MicroSD card, putting that in the computer, and copying the files across that way? The bootloader mode is nothing to fear. For small changes, it’s much quicker than pulling the MicroSD card.

With the X20, you’re best off sticking with FrSky receivers. There may be lite JR bay multi-protocol modules available. But I don’t believe you’d be able to use them with ETHOS. The multi-protocol modules may not support JR receivers either.

Hi Joe. I open the zip files and drag the contents of the zip files over. When Windows transfers the files, it unzips them before storing them on the X20 drives However, if you were to not open the zip file. Window would just copy the zip file. The key is to open the archive and copy the contents over.

I know that you told us that after Vers. 1.0111 the files would be named TANDEM FLASH.zip & TANDEM_SD.zip, but as well as those, there are also; X20S-EU.zip, X20S-FLEX.zip and X20S-IL.zip. What should we do with the X20-FLEX.zip & X20S IL.zip and do we need to download the X20S-EU as well as the TANDEM FLASH.zip & TANDEM_SD.zip??? - Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi Geoff, the X20-FLEX and -IL files are for different modes of the RF module. FLEX enables the flex features of R9, which allows the pilot to select the power and frequency to. I believe IL file is for Israel. With 1.1.x you also need to download the audio zip file. I have a video out on Sunday for updating to 1.1.x which may help too.

If the files are just in the /audio/ folder, it could be that they are not in the correct format. I’ll get the details soon, when I’m at my computer.

The wav files need to be at 32000Hz and exported as 16bit files. The will also have a filename character limit, which I've not tested in ETHOS. OpenTX was limited to 6 characters, and that is also fine in ETHOS. Basically, and WAV file that worked in OpenTX should also work in ETHOS.

@@MrD My files on the XQ7 are perfect, but on the X20 I can't get it to work, even though it wasn't up to date. I honestly don't know what to do to make them work.

Hi John. If it doesn't show up, the first thing that I would try is a different USB C data cable. The cable that comes with the transmitter is not the best. Mine did not connect sometimes.

A pleasure to greet Mr D. I am following your videos with great interest, which are magnificent and of great help to those of us who are introduced to this world of ETHOS. I made a first update of my station from version 1.0.4 to 1.0.11 with success, but now that I try to update to new versions 1.0.19 for example, once I disconnect the usb cable the update does not load, and bootloader appears . No possibility of updating. Please a solution to this problem. Thanks.

In all honesty, don’t worry about that version. In the video description, there is a link for a more recent video to update to version 1.2. Follow that video, but install the bootloader from version 1.2.11, then use ETHOS Suite to update to 1.3.2.
@domingodiazgonzalezdiax8924
@@MrD Greetings Mr. D. I have tried as you indicated, to install the bootloader, but from the station I do not have the option to flash bootloader, it only appears in the bootloader.frsk folder (installed from PC as you indicated) copy-move-delete. Thanks again.

@@domingodiazgonzalezdiax8924 you need to update to 1.1.4 at least to get the bootloader update option. That is shown in the video.

I demo on Windows. But it is mostly copying files, so you should be able to see what to do with your Mac.
