How to Update the Firmware

Updating the Aircraft and the Battery Firmware

Your M100 uses the DJI Zenmuse X3 Gimbal with Camera
If you are using the DJI Zenmuse X3 Gimbal with Camera, follow the steps below to
update the aircraft and the battery.

Updating the Aircraft Firmware

Step 1- Check the Battery Level and Micro SD Card Storage

Ensure that the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least 50% power level and there is at least
100MB of free space on the Micro SD card.

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package

1. Download the firmware update package from the DJI Developer website.
(https://developer.dji.com/matrice-100/downloads)
2. Insert the Micro SD card into your PC. Extract all the downloaded files into the root
directory of the Micro SD card. While the M100 is powered off, remove the Micro SD
card from your PC and insert it into the Micro SD card slot on the gimbal.

Step 3- Update the Aircraft

1. Ensure the remote controller is powered off and then power on the aircraft. The
firmware update will begin automatically once the aircraft is powered on.
2. It will take approximately 25 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera
will sound a short pulse of "D-D-D-D" beeping sound to indicate that the update is in
progress, and sound a "D —DD" beeping sound to indicate that the update has been
completed successfully.
3. Check the update status by opening the .txt file that is automatically generated after
the update. You should see the text "result: successful" in the .txt file if the update is
successful. Otherwise, try updating the firmware again if you see the text "result: failed"
in the text file or the gimbal sounds a long beep sound.

Updating the Intelligent Flight Battery Firmware

The Intelligent Flight Battery is updated during the aircraft firmware update. It is
recommended to keep the update package files on your Micro SD card. The update will
start automatically once the aircraft is powered on.
Update the firmware of an extra Intelligent Flight Battery as follows:
1. Power off all Intelligent Flight Batteries.
2. Insert the battery that needs the firmware update into the battery compartment
connected to the flight controller.
3. Power on the Intelligent Flight Battery in the battery compartment. The update will start
automatically.
