ProStart Firmware

Instructions:

To change the firmware on a new ProStart (model year 2020 and up):

  1. Connect the ProStart to a computer.
  2. It will behave like a thumb drive (or any other USB mass storage device).
  3. Open the ProStart, and then open the Firmware folder.
  4. Remove the existing .hex from the Firmware folder.
  5. Drag and drop the new .hex firmware file into the folder.
  6. Unplug your ProStart from the computer.
  7. Turn your ProStart off and then back on again.
  8. Wait for a moment for the firmware update to begin.
  9. You will know the firmware is updating when the ProStart counts from 0 to 100 on screen.
  10. When it hits 100, the update is complete and the ProStart will begin operating normally, using the new firmware.

Note: You do not need to open a .hex file or assign a default program to open a .hex file to change the firmware on your ProStart.
