If you are running v3.1.007 you will most likely have to manually update to v3.1.008, using these instructions (<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">only for those running v3.1.007</b>):</div><pre style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 7px; border: 1px solid rgb(187, 187, 187); outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(216, 216, 216); text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 1px 1px; border-top-left-radius: 7px; border-top-right-radius: 7px; border-bottom-right-radius: 7px; border-bottom-left-radius: 7px; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: rgb(85, 85, 85);" class="">1. Firstly, go back to factory firmware:
ota boot factory
module reset
2. After reset, connect to wifi and do a manual ota update:
ota flash http <a href="http://api.openvehicles.com/firmware/ota/v3.1/main/3.1.008.ovms3.bin" class="">api.openvehicles.com/firmware/ota/v3.1/main/3.1.008.ovms3.bin</a>
module reset
3. After that is done, check the version with:
ota status
You should be running 3.1.008 from an ota partition.</pre><div style="margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, "Century gothic", sans-serif;" class="">Alternatively, you can download 3.1.008 from <a href="http://api.openvehicles.com/firmware/ota/v3.1/main/3.1.008.ovms3.bin" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(28, 110, 160); transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out;" class="">http://api.openvehicles.com/firmware/ota/v3.1/main/3.1.008.ovms3.bin</a> directly and put as ovms3.bin on SD CARD to update from that.</div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, "Century gothic", sans-serif;" class="">The v3 modules can be updated over the air (wifi), via SD CARD, or over USB - all without requiring special hardware programmers like the PICKIT used for v2. The simplest way to update the module firmware is to connect it as a client to your wifi network (or phone hotspot), and then use the web interface Config / Firmware / Flash-from-Web; that will show you the version you are running, as well as the latest version available for update. One click on 'Flash now' and the update will be downloaded and installed. Alternatively, you can download the firmware update to a file named ovms3.bin in the root directory of a FAT formatted SD CARD and insert the card into the module's slot - the new firmware will be updated automatically and the file renamed ovms3.done to signify completion.</div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, "Century gothic", sans-serif;" class="">This firmware also includes the feature to check for and automatically update to newly available firmware, every night (so long as the vehicle is connected to WiFi). After updating to 3.1.005 or later, you can enable this for future firmware releases with 'config ota auto yes'.</div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, "Century gothic", sans-serif;" class="">Thank you for your support of the project.<br class="">Open Vehicles</div></div></body></html>
