u3 - already running bridgething
how to get the latest goodies
the companion app
the companion pushes updates over bluetooth automatically.
no cable, nothing to run. it is already doing this.
over the cable, from this browser
plug the thing in and update it straight from here. much faster than bluetooth.
chromium only, and it asks for local network access the first time.
updater cli
same as above but in the terminal.
$ bunx @bridgething/updater j2 - if it goes wrong
- the usb port is flaky
- try different cables, usb ports, usb hubs, no usb hubs, computers, whatever. the thing is picky.
- this thing is literally impossible to brick
- burn mode lives in rom. holding buttons 1 & 4 on boot always gets you to maskrom.
- updates roll back
- the image lands in the slot you are not booted from. a failed update boots the old one.
