Updating The Firmware - Car Solutions MimicsG4 User Manual

5. Updating The Firmware

Firmware updates allows easy and rapid turnaround low level changes to the core MimicsG4 operating
system. Updates can include support for more devices, additional touchscreen support and bug fixes.
To upload new firmware.
Download the latest firmware from the customGadz website. The file downloaded will be a .ZIP
•
archive so you will need to extract the file first. The extracted file will be named "MIMG4100.img"
Copy the file into the root directory of a USB flash disk as shown in diagram below.
•
Turn off the MimicsG4 by either unplugging the Micro USB power cable or if you have installed
•
this into a vehicle, simply turn the car off.
Plug in the USB flash disk pre-loaded with the firmware file and power the MimicsG4 back on.
•
You will notice the RED indicator light up and stay on, and then a few moments later the BLUE
•
indicator will start flashing for ~15 seconds.
* If you don't see the correct light sequence when updating, make sure your flash disk is formatted to
"FAT32" . If you have a really large flash disk you will need a special program to format in FAT32.
