How to Build:

Updating firmware

Via the SD card

1. Rename nuttx.oci to update.oci.
2. Copy update.oci to Thingsee's mass memory (SD card).
3. Shutdown and restart the device.
4. Thingsee will flash the device automatically, when update.oci file is found on SD card at bootup.

Alternatively you can flash the firmware dfu file with dfu-util (Please use >= dfu-util 0.8-1).

The easiest way to activate DFU mode in the Thingsee device is to:

1. Open the case to access the bottom side of the board.
2. Locate “FLASH” and “RESET” buttons.
3. Hold “FLASH” button and then press and release “RESET” button.
4. Your device should now be in DFU mode and ready for flashing.

Plug the USB cable to the micro-USB connector of your device. Use following command:

 dfu-util -d 0483:df11 -a0 -D nuttx.dfu -s :leave
