Original Taranis to OpenTX 2.2

Post by SteveH »

I have an original Taranis (one of the first that came into the UK) and currently it is running on Opentx - r2940.
Can I change the firmware to the latest 2.2.1 directly or do I need to go through some intermediate steps?
Thanks for any advice.

1) Backup current firmware and eeprom with companion 1.52, backup your SD card contents
2) Install companion 2.2.1, select right radio type
3) Read radio settings with it
4) Download and flash radio with firmware 2.2.1
5) Write radio settings
6) Download 2.2 SD card contents and put that on previously wiped card

Firmware cannot upgrade more than 1 "step" so you need to do it with companion.

There will likely be quite a bit of work to do on each model, check everything VERY carefully. 5 year-jump is quite big..
