Notes


- There are three methods for flashing:
1. **Via Tinymovr DFU:** After downloading the correct "upgrade" firmware according to your board revision (R3.x, R5.x or M5.x), connect your device to CAN bus as usual and follow the instructions in our [documentation](https://tinymovr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade/upgrade.html#upgrade-using-dfu-and-can-bus). This is available to boards with fw 1.6.0 or later, featuring the new bootloader.
2. **Via ActiveFlashLight:** After downloading the correct "upgrade" firmware according to your board revision (R3.x, R5.x or M5.x), connect your device to ActiveFlashLight and follow the instructions in our [documentation](https://tinymovr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade/upgrade.html#upgrade-using-activeflashlight), selecting the `Full Erase` option, next to `Auto Program`. This method is applicable to boards with the old bootloader.
3. **Via JLink & VSCode:** This method enables comprehensive upgrade of both bootloader and firmware, but it requires specialized hardware (JLink) and hardware connections. Follow the instructions in our [documentation](https://tinymovr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/guide.html#flashing-and-debugging), observing correct hardware revision, and choosing the Release target.
- Please use [Tinymovr Studio 1.6.5](https://pypi.org/project/tinymovr/1.6.5/) with this firmware release.

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/tinymovr/Tinymovr/compare/1.6.0...1.6.2

Notes

- This release offers the option to upgrade the Tinymovr bootloader, along with the firmware, to support CAN bus DFU, but for existing boards this is only possible using JLink with the VSCode environment.
- As such there are two methods for flashing:
1. **Via ActiveFlashLight:** After downloading the correct "upgrade" firmware according to your board revision (R3.x, R5.x or M5.x), connect your device to ActiveFlashLight and follow the instructions in our [documentation](https://tinymovr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade/upgrade.html#upgrade-using-activeflashlight), selecting the `Full Erase` option, next to `Auto Program`.

Follow the instructions in our [documentation](https://tinymovr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/guide.html#flashing-and-debugging), observing correct hardware revision, and choosing the Release target.
- Please use [Tinymovr Studio 1.6.2](https://pypi.org/project/tinymovr/1.6.0/) with this firmware release.
