This folder contains the python based GUI for updating firmware. There is an executable available for Windows and a python script available for Linux, Mac OS, and Raspberry Pi.
The tool is based on the esptool.py and loads RTK_Surveyor.ino.bootloader.bin and RTK_Surveyor.ino.partitions.bin files along side the chosen firmware file. This tool was created to aid users in updating their firmware. In general, the SD firmware update method is recommended, but for some firmware updates (for example from version v1.x to v2.x) a serial connection via USB is required. This GUI makes it easy to point and click your way through a firmware update.
