Headless firmware update?

Hardware ZED2
1

Hi,

Is it possible to conduct ZED2i firmware updates without using the ZED_Explorer UI? I couldn’t find any information on this in the documentation.
If not, is it planned to be supported?

Best,
Noé

Hi @nfntn,

You can update the firmware of the camera using the command line:

ZED_Explorer --updatefw /path/to/firmware/file

More information with ZED_Explorer -h

Thanks @mattrouss !

Looking at the –help, I still have the following questions:

  1. What’s the recommended way to get the firmware binary?
  2. Does ZED_Explorer –updatefw {fw.bin} support running on a host to which multiple cameras are connected? If not, is it planned to be supported in the future? This would allow remote updates of devices’ firmware when multiple devices are connected to the same host.

Best,

Noé

Hi @nfntn,

Firmware files can be found under /usr/local/zed/firmware

This method does not support updating the firmware on multiple cameras connected at once. We have not updated the firmware in quite a while, so this feature is not currently planned.
