how to update
the companion app
installs updates automatically when connected
in the browser
faster than bluetooth if you are having issues with companion ota
chromium only
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.
