Firmware Release Notes

Improvements

1. Optimized USB transfer scheduling under high-load conditions

   When high-bandwidth streams such as depth point clouds are running at full capacity, command, heartbeat, and file-transfer channels are now prioritized to ensure timely responses and prevent control delays caused by bandwidth contention.

2. Enhanced automatic recovery after device reconnection

   After the device reconnects to the host, all data channels recover automatically without requiring a device reboot or manual intervention, improving fault tolerance in field deployments.

3. Improved file-transfer stability

   File-transfer tasks such as map saving now have a timeout-protection mechanism that terminates or retries the task promptly on failure, preventing indefinite hangs.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed a potentially unrecoverable disconnection under USB 2.0 high-load conditions

   Previously, when bandwidth was near saturation, the device could disconnect and the host could not re-detect it without rebooting the device. Stable connection is now maintained even under extreme bandwidth conditions.

2. Fixed depth-stream display freezing under high-load conditions

   Previously, when multiple streams were transmitting simultaneously, some depth frames could be incomplete, causing point-cloud display to stop updating for extended periods. Frame integrity is now guaranteed, improving stability for SLAM and similar applications.

3. Fixed gradual resource accumulation after repeated device reconnections

   Improves long-running stability of the device.

4. Fixed file-transfer tasks getting stuck

   Previously, tasks such as map saving could hang and never complete. Tasks now complete reliably and retry promptly on failure.

5. Fixed sensor timestamp accuracy in specific scenarios

   Improves time-synchronization accuracy across multiple sensors, enhancing data quality for SLAM fusion and similar applications.

6. Optimized OTA upgrade speed

   Streamlined OTA upgrade process significantly reduces the time required to complete an upgrade.

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.
• This firmware requires driver version 0.13.0 or later.

ROS Driver Release Notes

Driver repository: https://github.com/manifoldsdk/odin_ros_driver.git

Current version: 0.14.0

1. Fixed a USB memory leak in the SDK.
2. Fixed transfer no mem errors caused by a full USB buffer during device data transfer.
3. Optimized map-transfer functionality.

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_0.5.0_amd64 odin1_firmware_update_0.14.1.tar.gz

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