First timer: downloading firmware, SD Contents not appearing

Post by hattman »

Hey guys,

I'm trying to download firmware 2.3.7 to my taranis q x7. My problem is that I can't read the SD contents off of my transmitter which I figure is a problem. I'm attempting to update my bootloader which is at 2.3.0 right now, after downloading the files to my SD card and booting up my transmitter, I was prompted with a message saying it was converting the EEPROM or something. This is just a little context but I'd really appreciate any help you guys can offer as to why my files aren't showing up on my transmitter.

Thank you

What is showing up? What card size are you using?`How have you put the files on the SD?

Nothing is showing up, as I'm watching youtube tutorials, I'm seeing on their transmitters in the "SD contents" page, CROSSFIRE, FIRMWARE, etc. On my transmitter there are no files and I have absolutely transferred them, I had to wait around 10 minutes for all the files to go through.

To answer the how, I'm just dragging the files from my downloads to the drive.

Make sure the card is formatted FAT32 and not ExFAT.
