Firmware update on OS X
Posted: 01 Dec 2015, 15:52My EyeTribe disconnects itself randomly, so I would like to see whether a firmware upgrade sorts it out.
How to update the firmware (from an OSX machine)?
I purchased my unit in May 2014:
Is there any benefit of updating?
Looking through forum posts, it appears a few glitches have been ironed out since then. It looks as though the device operates very close to the USB Power limit -- will more recent firmware reduce power consumption?
π
PS I don't have easy access to a Windows system; I would have to choose between VirtualBox and begging a favour from a friend.
