  1. Log into your Gumband Cloud dashboard (i.e. http://app.gumband.com ) and navigate to your hardware.

  2. Open the “Firmware” tab. Here you can upload and store firmware for your hardware device.


    The “Firmware” page is broken into two sections:

    • The Gumband Firmware section is for the Gumband Core firmware (.gbm0 file types). This will not be frequently used unless migrating to a newer version, or for smaller security and API updates.

    • The User Firmware section is for your code (.gbm4 file types). This is the one you will be interacting with the most!

  3. In the User Firmware section, click Upload then choose the .gbm4 firmware file from your computer/file-system you want to add to the Cloud dashboard. You can assign it a name and file version.

    Note: this “Firmware Version” is only for file management. It does not represent nor affect the User Firmware Version in the the hardware overview, on the hardware’s Overview tab (which is set by the device using gumbandSetUserFirmwareVer() in the code). It’s best practice to ensure that these two values match.

  4. To update your device with this firmware, select it with the check-box and click Update. This will trigger a firmware update to begin on your device.
