# Upgrading your iron
-This is completely safe, but if it goes wrong just put the .hex file from the official website onto the unit and your back to the old firmware. Downloads for the hex files to flash are available on the [releases page.](https://github.com/Ralim/ts100/releases) The file you want is called *(MODEL)_EN.hex* unless you want the translations, they are (MODEL)_*language short name*.hex. Where (MODEL) is either TS100 or TS80.

For the more adventurous out there, you can also load this firmware onto the device using an SWD programmer.
On the bottom of the MCU riser PCB, there are 4 pads for programming.
There is a complete device flash backup included in this repository. (Note this includes the bootloader, so will need an SWD programmer to load onto the unit).
-For the TS80 the SWD pins are used for the QC negotiation, so you can actually connect to the SWD power via the USB connector

## Setting a custom bootup image
This firmware uses a different method of updating the bootup image.
This removes the need for emulating a USB drive on the iron just to allow for a bootup image to be setup.
