FLY-Gemini V3 Bootloader Recovery
- Please note that the HID Bootloader is pre-flashed at the factory, so there is no need to flash it again.
- For regular firmware updates, please prioritize using the USB firmware or USB bridge CAN firmware page. Do not repeatedly flash the bootloader firmware.
Entering DFU Mode
Before starting, completely turn off the printer and disconnect the power supply. Do not plug or unplug wiring harnesses, organize interface wiring, or touch terminals while the system is powered on.
-
There are two ways to enter DFU mode.
-
First method: With the motherboard completely powered off, use a jumper cap to connect BOOT and BOOT1. Then, connect one end of a data-capable USB cable to the motherboard and the other end to the computer.
-
The second method involves a reset sequence and is not recommended for general users to perform independently. If after-sales support requests this method, please follow the steps provided by the after-sales team.
