Firmware
All badges come flashed with firmware.
We will make new firmware updates available here as time permits.
updater.bin
In order to successfully update the firmware, two things must be present on your SD card: updater.bin and badge.bin. updater.bin is included on the asset disk image, but we are adding it here in case you need it.

badge.bin is the full firmware for the badge, loadable via openocd. You can upgrade your badge by placing both the updater and badge.bin on the badge's SD card and selecting "UPDATE FW" from the launcher.

This binary includes a "doomguy" app. You will need to copy additional files to the SD card to support "doomguy", available in the following zip: doomguy.zip
Unpack this zip and place the "doom" folder from this zip in the root directory of the SD card. This update does not touch configuration data or game state, so your progress and unlocks should not be impacted.
Changes
- Prevent chat-app from stepping on battle application if a chat request comes in when battling
- In an attempt to fix conflicts with some SAOs, permit a full-disabling of our LED chip on boot by holding down Joystick A during reset or power-up. See this commit for details.
- Make the factory reset sequence (both joysticks down and reset) play three touch tones (0-0-0) to indicate reset is happening.
- Add app-doomguy.c for fun.
- Fix a possible race condition in the BLE geiger counter app

SD Card
We typically ship these boards with a 4 GB MicroSD card containing audio, video, and graphical game assets. You will need one to play the game. Download the following file, unzip it, and write it out to a 4GB (or larger) microSD Card. We recommend Class 4 cards or better for performance.
Our badges this year shipped partitioned at 4GB but on 8GB disks due to a benefit from our disk copying company. Feel free to repartition and recopy the data out to 8GB!
