Updating Wiris Pro Software:

You shouldn't need to update the Wiris Pro firmware. If you are advised by Freefly support to do so, here is the process:

You will need:

  • USB keyboard

  • Micro HDMI to HDMI cable

  • HDMI Monitor

We know this isn't an ideal method of updating the camera. If you don't have an HDMI monitor/keyboard and would prefer to have the Wiris updated at Freefly, we will happily update it for you. Just reach out to support@freeflysystems.com

  • First remove the micro SD card from the side of the Wiris Pro and insert it into a computer.

We do not recommend updating the camera firmware unless advised by Freefly Support. We have extensively testing on this version of software and updating the camera may cause issues.

  • Download the firmware. The file format is .tar so you may need to enable downloading this format in your web browser. The latest supported version of Wiris Pro firmware is 1.6.42

  • Place the firmware file on the micro SD card, then re-insert it into the Wiris Pro.

  • Remove the ethernet cable from the back of the Wiris Pro.

  • Attach the gimbal to the aircraft; power on the aircraft and gimbal.

  • Tilt the gimbal about 45 degrees down to allow access to the cable ports.

    • Use the Herelink tilt wheel to tilt the gimbal

  • Attach a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable to Wiris. Attach the HDMI end of the cable to a monitor.

  • Attach a USB-A keyboard to the USB-A port.

Watch the output on the monitor. Using the arrow keys and enter keys on the keyboard, navigate through the Workswell menu:

  • Press Enter to exit Ethernet mode.

  • Press the right arrow to expand.

    • Use the down arrow to go to Advanced Mode.

    • Use the right arrow to expand.

      • Press the down arrow to go to Memory.

      • Press the right arrow to select and then click Enter on Update.

      • Ensure that the UI detects the correct firmware version to upgrade to and press Enter on Confirm.

Do not power off Astro or Wiris Pro until the update is complete.

  • Once the update is complete, power off Astro/Wiris Pro.

  • Remove the USB and HDMI cables.

  • Be sure to reinstall the ethernet cable from the gimbal in the back of the Wiris Pro.
