CHAPTER 2
Installation
Windows™ users can choose between two methods of installing the deviation firmware.
1. Use the Deviation Uploader tool
2. Use the DfuSe USB Upgrade tool (Windows™ only)
If you do not have the Windows™ operating system, go with the first choice, the Deviation Uploader tool.
It is a Java application that was designed by the Deviation developer team to be efficient and simple to use
with any Devo radio and any version of deviation or even Devention, if you should wish to revert to the
original Jumper firmware. The Jumper tool uses a two-step approach, in which you first install the firmware,
then the filesystem library. The Deviation Uploader tool does the same thing in one simple, convenient
step, using the ZIP compressed deviation firmware file as the source.
If your transmitter is a Devo F7 or F12E, you must use the Deviation Uploader.
The Preparation section covers things you need to do before starting an installation. Then, two installation
sections cover the actual installation, depending on which tool you are using. There are sections following
that include notes specific to upgrading from or to various versions and build types.
2.1 Preparation
First, ensure that your Devo is fully charged before starting the installation. Download the
deviationdevoXX-x.y.z.zip firmware from http://deviationtx.com/downloads-new/category/1-deviation-
releases where XX is the number of your Jumper T8SG™ transmitter. x.y.z identifies the deviation version
number. NOTE: Do NOT attempt to use the DfuSe tool from STMicroelectronics!
You can download the DfuSe tool from: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B6SupsT8-3_
