13.3 Emergency Firmware Update
Firmware updates are available from the polyend portal for your registered
device. A reset button is provided, recessed behind the rear panel for
emergency situations . A reset can be performed if there are issues with the
update method or to clear Tracker Mini issues but should not be used as a
regular process for updates.
▌ TRACKER MIDI & FIRMWARE RESET
1. Download the latest firmware. Access firmware updates for your device
from your registered account at Polyend.
2. Copy the downloaded .ptf firmware file into the /Firmware folder. This
can be found in the root directory of the SD Card. Also ensure any
previous update files remain in the firmware folder.
3. Insert the SD card into Tracker Mini.
4. Use a pin or thin object to press the internal reset button. This is located
on the bottom of the device to the left of the input and output jacks.
5. Tracker Mini will reset and search the firmware folder on the SD Card. A
random firmware will be selected and installed in order to recover
Tracker Mini to a working state. The install process is typically less than
1 minute duration.

The reset option is useful if any lock ups or freezing occurs on Tracker Mini. It is not necessary in these
situations to download a new OS. It is advised to keep a series official, known good, firmware releases in the
/firmware folder. For example 1.5.0, 1.6.0, 1.4.0. That way steps 4-5 can be performed in case of issues and
a random update will be performed from a known state. A manual update in the 'config' menu to select the
latest version can then follow.
