Firmware dates and release number

Post by rhubarbdog » Mon Apr 02, 2018 2:57 am

I'm reading a github for some hardware i want to link to my pyboard. The readme.md has minimum requirements of firmware of 1 dec 2017 or later.

How do i establish my firmware date?

Hi

I started repl by typing screen /dev/ttyACM0 (linux)

When i pressed control-C it complained about a keyboard interupt and output the release date, which is jan 2017 so i now have the new problem of acquiring and flashing a new firmware to my pyboard.

If you press ctrl-c while a program is running it will cause the program to stop and report a keyboard interrupt. That is correct behaviour.

New firmware can be acquired here, follow the installation instructions for your PC type.
