Firmware#

Firmware update of MABs products is released in form of proprietary .mab files. These files can be uploaded to devices using CANdleTool.

MD and MDCO drives are updated by specifying a firmware version tag. CANdleTool downloads the matching firmware automatically:

candletool md update <version_tag> -i <id>
candletool mdco update <version_tag> -i <id>

where <version_tag> is a release version, e.g. 3.0.0 or 2.5.4. To install the newest release, use latest:

candletool md update latest -i <id>
candletool mdco update latest -i <id>

When no internet connection is available, download the .mab file from the table below and upload it directly:

candletool md update -i <id> -p ./path/to/mab/file.mab
candletool mdco update -i <id> -p ./path/to/mab/file.mab
candletool pds update -i <id> -p ./path/to/mab/file.mab
candletool candle update -i <id> -p ./path/to/mab/file.mab

For example:

candletool md update -i 100 -p ./md_app_3.0.0_3b52568.mab
Firmware change to version v2.5.4 and older:

Pre 3.0.0 firmware version uses a legacy update procedure, and requires Linux operating system. The firmware package is compiled into executable binary. Be sure to unpack a .zip package with your firmware version of choice and select executable appropriate for your system architecture (x86_64, arm64). You can perform an update with:

./MAB_CAN_FLASHER_2.5.4_X86_64 --id <id> --baud <can datarate>

where: <id> -is your actuator can id i.e. --id 100, <can datarate> - can be 1M, 2M, 5M or 8M.

if the update cannot be performed successfully for any reason, there is a recovery procedure:

  1. Disconnect your drive from power, and wait for total power loss (no LEDs),

  2. Run command ./MAB_CAN_FLASHER_2.5.4_X86_64 --id <id> --baud <can datarate> **--wait**,

  3. Connect power to the driver. This should allow for uploading the firmware even to an otherwise unresponsive drive.
