9. Firmware Upgrade

ℹ️ Notes on firmware 0.13.1

There are currently two known items in firmware 0.13.1:

1. There is slight point-cloud noise, which does not affect localization.
2. NTP time synchronization can be inaccurate; a fix is in progress.

Users who need this release can upgrade and use it normally. If you are sensitive to the items above, you may postpone the upgrade and wait for a subsequent patched release.

Firmware Release Date

2026-07-13

Firmware Release Notes

1. Algorithm performance optimization

   Loop-closure relocalization performance improvement; static-scene stability optimization.

2. File transfer optimization

   Support for map files larger than 4 GB; duplicate files (detected via MD5) are automatically skipped.

3. Filesystem self-check & repair

   The filesystem is automatically checked and repaired at boot, preventing calibration file loss and relocalization failures caused by file corruption.

4. System stability optimization

Upgrade Notes

• The communication protocol between the device and the host SDK has been updated.
• Be sure to upgrade the device firmware and the host-side SDK / driver at the same time.
• A version mismatch between the device and the host can cause unstable connections and abnormal communication.

Upgrade Procedure

📄 Download detailed Firmware Upgrade Tool instructions (PDF)

ℹ️ Starting from firmware 0.13.0, the upgrade protocol has changed:

• Current firmware ≤ 0.12.4 → use upgrade tool version 0.4.9
• Current firmware ≥ 0.13.0 → use upgrade tool version 0.5.0

Note: Do not run the driver during the upgrade, and do not power off during the process. A USB 3.0 port is recommended; USB 2.0 also works, but disconnections may occur during the upgrade and require restarting the upgrade with Ctrl+C.

1. Download the firmware via the link above.
2. Extract the archive.
3. Run the upgrade script (the upgrade tool is available with two suffixes: amd64 for x86 platforms and aarch64 for ARM platforms — pick the one that matches your platform):

# Example for an x86 platform
./odin1_firmware_update_tool_0.4.9_amd64 odin1_firmware_update_0.13.1.tar.gz

Wait for the upgrade to complete; the device will reboot automatically.
