Updating Firmware

Updating Astro Firmware

You can determine if Astro needs an update by following steps 2-4 below. The current firmware number available will be on the Software Release Notes page.

  1. Download the firmware file from the Software Release Notes page or the Suite.

  2. Connect Astro to your computer with a USB cable.

  3. Power on aircraft with one battery and wait about 15 seconds for aircraft to fully boot.

  4. Using a browser such as Chrome or Safari, open the aircraft's info/update page at http://10.41.1.1 (internet connection is not needed).

  5. In the Update AuterionOS box, click Browse, and select the firmware file downloaded above.

  6. Click Update. (Should take about 10 minutes.)

  7. After the update completion message, verify that the webpage shows a "Release name" that matches the downloaded file and that all the motor LEDs are on.

If your Astro firmware update fails:

  1. Update the Pilot Pro App to v2.7 or later.

  2. Connect Pilot Pro to your Astro.

  3. Tap the Fix Me button in Pilot Pro, which will apply the FW Updater Fix. This is found in: App Menu > Vehicle Status Page

  4. If you have a Blue/NDAA Astro, you will need to disable Admin Protection on the 10.41.1.1/settings page before the FW Updater Fix can apply. Admin Protection can be re-enabled after the Astro firmware update is successful

  5. Retry the Astro firmware update once the FW Updater Fix has been applied.

After updating the aircraft, make sure that all apps in the Freefly Updater on your controller are up-to-date.

If Freefly Updater is not installed, follow these instructions.
