Iotiny Firmware Download And Flashing

Iotiny Firmware Download And Flashing

Hi all,

Is there a download available for new firmware for an ioTiny (EZ-B / ioTiny controller)? How do I reload or flash the chip?

For context, I'm referring to the ioTiny hardware that connects to Synthiam ARC as an EZB-compatible controller. If it matters, please indicate whether any steps involve ARC, a PC connection, or a specific flashing tool.

Thank you.

Hi nomad. Are you experiencing issues with the iotiny? I am not aware of any recent firmware updates.

The chip would need a bootloader to accept the firmware. The bootloader requires removing the chip from the IoTiny and programming it on a custom rig. Because it is an EZ-Robot product, we don't have access to the bootloader, even if you find a custom rig to program the chips.

If you are having difficulty obtaining ez-robot IoTiny, consider using an ESP32 with a PCA9685. It does audio, video, and servos. Read more about the various supported models in the hardware and firmware.
