=== How to upgrade camera firmware ===
−
Each MIPI camera module has an i2c control interface. We use this i2c bus interface for firmware upgrades.
+
Each MIPI camera module features an I2C control interface, which is used to facilitate firmware upgrades via the I2C bus.

==== Prepare ====
+
==== Preparation ====
−
You can get the upgrade package for the camera from this [https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4tov5s500gaif/camera_firmware_upgrade_images link]. The default file name is ProductMode_Version_.bin, for instance MV-MIPI-IMX178M_C1.08_L1.02_upgrade.bin.
+
You can download the camera firmware upgrade package from the provided [https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4tov5s500gaif/camera_firmware_upgrade_images link]. The default file format is <code>ProductModel_Version_.bin</code>, for example, <code>MV-MIPI-IMX178M_C1.08_L1.02_upgrade.bin</code>.
   −
Use the veye_i2c_upgrade tool to perform the upgrade operation. For different motherboards, we release the corresponding mv_tools_rpi toolset which contains veye_i2c_upgrade.
+
To perform the upgrade, use the <code>veye_i2c_upgrade</code> tool. For different platforms, we provide the corresponding toolsets, such as <code>mv_tools_rpi</code>, which includes <code>veye_i2c_upgrade</code>.
   −
The mv_tools_rpi is available on GitHub, for example the tools for the Raspberry Pi platform can be downloaded from this [https://github.com/veyeimaging/mvcam_raspberrypi/tree/main/mv_tools_rpi link].
+
The <code>mv_tools_rpi</code> toolset can be found on GitHub.

==== Upgrading ====
+
For instance,
   −
* Step 1:  
+
Raspberry Pi platform tools are available for download at this [https://github.com/veyeimaging/mvcam_raspberrypi/tree/main/mv_tools_rpi link].
   −
Put the upgrade package（MV-MIPI-IMX178M_C1.08_L1.02_upgrade.bin） into the same directory as veye_i2c_upgrade.
+
Jetson platform tools at this [https://github.com/veyeimaging/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp/tree/master/mv_tools_jetson/veye_upgrade link].
   −
* Step 2:
+
RK35XX platform tools at this [https://github.com/veyeimaging/rk35xx_veye_bsp/blob/main/mv_tools_rockchip/veye_upgrade/veye_i2c_upgrade link].
   −
Confirm that the camera module is powered up.
+
==== Upgrade Steps: ====
   −
Using v4l2 driver mode, the power up and probe process will be performed during the linux boot process.
+
===== Step 1: =====
 +
Place the upgrade package (e.g., <code>MV-MIPI-IMX178M_C1.08_L1.02_upgrade.bin</code>) in the same directory as <code>veye_i2c_upgrade</code>.
   −
In particular, for the legacy mode of the Raspberry Pi, you need to execute camera_i2c_config to power up the camera.
+
===== Step 2: =====
 +
Ensure that the camera module is powered on.
   −
* Step 3:
+
* When using the V4L2 driver, the camera will power on and probe automatically during the Linux boot process—simply power on the board.
 +
* For legacy Raspberry Pi models, you need to execute <code>camera_i2c_config</code> to power up the camera manually.
   −
Please refer to the following article to determine which i2c bus this camera is connected to.
+
===== Step 3: =====
 +
Refer to this article to determine which I2C bus the camera is connected to.

* Step 4:  
+
===== Step 4: =====
−
 
   
For the mv series, execute this command to read the current version：
 
For the mv series, execute this command to read the current version：
   Line 44: Line 48:  
<code>./veye5_mipi_i2c.sh -r -f version -b [i2c bus]</code>
 
<code>./veye5_mipi_i2c.sh -r -f version -b [i2c bus]</code>
   −
Step 5：  
+
===== Step 5： =====
 +
Execute the upgrade command. A progress prompt will appear during the process:
 +
 
 +
<code>sudo ./veye_i2c_upgrade [upgrade package file name] -b [i2c bus]</code>
 +
 
 +
If the upgrade fails, power cycle the camera and try again.
 +
 
 +
===== Step 6： =====
 +
After the upgrade, the camera will restart automatically. Verify the new firmware version using the same commands as in Step 4.
   −
Execute this command to upgrade, and a progress prompt will be displayed during the upgrade.  
+
For the mv series, execute this command to read the current version：
 +
 
 +
<code>./mv_mipi_i2c.sh -r -f version -b [i2c bus]</code>
 +
 
 +
For VEYE-MIPI-IMX335，execute this command to read the current version：
 +
 
 +
<code>./veye5_mipi_i2c.sh -r -f version -b [i2c bus]</code>
   −
<code>./veye_i2c_upgrade [upgrade package file name] -b [i2c bus]</code><br />Step 6：
+
===== Step 7： =====
 +
It’s recommended to restore the factory settings post-upgrade to prevent potential conflicts between the current configuration and the newly upgraded firmware:
   −
After the upgrade is complete, the camera will automatically restart. You can re-read the version number to confirm.
+
<code>./mv_mipi_i2c.sh -w -f factoryparam -b [i2c bus]</code>
