4 Chapter 2. Installation
The Deviation Uploader tool can be downloaded from http://deviationtx.com/downloads-new/category/
161-dfu-usb-tool
If you are using Windows™, you need to install the appropriate USB drivers. See the section on Windows
Driver Installation
Unzip the tools and install them locally. If you are using the Deviation Uploader tool, it is not necessary to
unzip the firmware you downloaded. It is recommended that you test the DFU tool by first upgrading your
TX to a different version of Jumper firmware.
If you are upgrading from a previous Deviation release, it is strongly recommended that you back-up the
‘models’ directory from the transmitter as well as the ‘tx.ini’ and the ‘hardware.ini’ files to ensure you
don’t lose any model or transmitter configuration.
2.1.1 Windows Driver Installation
The DfuSe tool and the Deviation Uploader tool use different drivers. Both can be installed by the
Deviation USBDrv Installer, available from http://www.deviationtx.com/downloads-new/category/ 161-
dfu-usb-tool
Extract the Deviation USBDrv Installer, and run ‘DFU USBDrv Installer-x.y.exe’. You can then uninstall both
drivers, or install either the Deviation USB Driver for use with the Deviation Uploader or the Jumper driver.
Install the driver for the Dfu tool you plan on using.
2.2 DFU Installation With Walkera DfuSe
Installation of Deviation with the DfuSe tool is done in exactly the same manner as upgrading the
Devention firmware. Note that Deviation will NOT overwrite models stored on the transmitter. While they
cannot be accessed by Deviation, they will be safely preserved should the firmware ever need to be
reinstalled
