First, sorry 🙏 we shipped you the device before we developed a way to update your device code through the app.
Thus you will have to update the device manually this time.
Here are the steps:
Connect your device to your computer via USB-C.
Locate this hole on your device
Find a small pin or similar thin tool to press the tiny button.
Press the Button Twice: Using the pin, quickly press the button in the hole twice in succession.
Check for Recognition: After pressing the button twice, your computer should recognize the device.
Verify the Name: Look for a drive named
/Volumes/XIAO-SENSEon your computer. This indicates that the FRIEND device has successfully entered Reset mode.
Download the following 2 files on your computer:
Bootloader: bootloader0.9.0.uf2
Firmware: firmware1.0.4.uf2
Drag and drop the bootloader
.uf2file onto the/Volumes/XIAO-SENSEdrive:Bootloader: bootloader0.9.0.uf2
The device will automatically eject itself once the bootloader flashing process is complete.
After the device forcibly ejects, set the FRIEND device back into reset mode by double-tapping the button again.
Drag and drop the FRIEND firmware file onto the
/Volumes/XIAO-SENSEdrive:Firmware: firmware1.0.4.uf2
Congratulations! 🎉
