Firmware version check
So check the firmware version of your hörbert
hörbert’s firmware determines the functionality of your hörbert. Through free updates from us, your hörbert receives new features and we also fix problems with functions that don’t run as smoothly as you or we would like.
In any case, we recommend keeping your hörbert up to date. And where else do you get more over time for your money? We still have many improvements planned, from new features to easier operation… so it’s worth staying current!
Here we show you how to find out which firmware version is installed on your hörbert. The hörbert software also cares about this when it wants to automatically check if a new firmware is available for your hörbert.
And how do I find out the firmware version?
hörbert writes its firmware version on the inserted memory card – always when you insert the batteries.
So if you look at the files on your memory card, you will most likely find a file named:
ver_fw.txt
This simply contains text. Here you will find the version and the date when the firmware was created.
Project name: hoerbert_firmware App version: 2022-02-07 16:43 d743da91 SHA-256 for the partition table: 60d34461bc8bf76e47e4e826655ccd4933e595e3ef16cffbcf3388759700f383 SHA-256 for bootloader: 7868109763295330840fd5a2a73c161b0e76e44fe19ef1b52204ca279f8c86cb SHA-256 for current firmware: 5ed3eb39d32bca933088b0010e29d6eeab76d85520f0591ebc76d1478e8bd0df
If this file is not yet present, or if you want to make sure that it displays the latest version, then leave your memory card in hörbert and simply remove a battery.
Count to three, and then reinsert the battery. That’s all. hörbert immediately writes its version to the memory card.
Now the hörbert software on your computer can check if a newer firmware is available for your hörbert, and assist you in installing a new firmware.
