MMDVM Firmware Update 1.1.0

There is a new version of the MMDVM software available. I just updated my ZUMspot using the script provided by Pi-Star.

To perform an update, follow these steps

1. go to the Admin page. Change the URL so it points to “/admin/expert/”, you should only have to add the “/expert/”.
2. On the menu select “SSH Access”
3. Log into the shell using the same username and password you used for the Admin page
4. enter the command “sudo pistar-zumspotflash”
5. at the end of the update it will ask you to press “any key” to restart.
6. I had to do a power cycle before mine would work after the update.

That’s it. Easy to do.
