Today,

For
full detail on all changes, check the GitHub
revision history. 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. 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'.
You
can choose the release level by setting 'config
ota tag edge | eap | main', as one of:
- edge:
Bleeding edge developer nightly-builds
- eap: Early
Access Program (full releases, but with little
public testing)
- main:
Publicly tested full releases (the most stable)
Thank
you to all the open source developers who have
contributed to this, and previous, releases, and
thank you for your support of the project.
