X2 Firmware 2.0 BETA testing!

Hey guys,

To test firmware 2.0, I’ve created a BETA version of the X2 firmware update utility.

Find them here:

THIS FIRMWARE WILL ERASE YOUR LOGS

This is the first firmware to use a new, modern file system. So, installing this firmware will erase whatever logs you have in your X2.

The good news is, after you update, it will hopefully be much more reliable to sync your logs to the app.

THINGS TO NOTE

Of course, this is a beta firmware, which has not yet undergone enough testing to release.

Please be aware that there may be freezes/crashes that might happen if you use this firmware. Please report ON THIS FORUM THREAD any issues you find with the beta firmware.

NEW FEATURES

So the firmware 2.0.0-beta1 has:

  • a new, more reliable filesystem for logs
  • you can now sync up to 10 (!!!) waypoints from the app!
  • you can also change waypoints while in aircraft mode! Just press the top/bottom buttons to cycle between waypoints in the aircraft.
  • Confirmation dialog before exiting skydive mode

HOW TO REVERT BACK TO STABLE FIRMWARE

To revert back to the 1.x versions of the firmware, just use the regular X2 firmware update utility to update it (which you can download from Downloads – AO(N²) ).

DEVELOPMENTS IN PIPELINE

There are more features planned for the 2.0 series of firmware but aren’t on this version yet:

Happy testing!

Firmware update (windows 11) from 1.6.5 went flawlessly to 2.0.0. Settings and GPS waypoints resynced from app (Oneplus 15/Android 16)

Now to test with some jumping!

Okay, this BETA will move quite quickly.

I’ve found a few memory allocation bugs, and I’ve improved the logging code, so the BETA is now 2.0.1. As before, just use the BETA firmware update app to get this, and once the update is complete, going to Settings → System should show 2.0.1.

EDIT:
Upgrading to 2.0.1 from 2.0.0 shouldn’t erase any settings or logs (that only happens if upgrading from 1.x.x)

It has started recording the jump logs again; however, I performed 5 jumps—as shown in the image—but it only downloaded 4 of them. I tried downloading them more than once, but on my phone, it still only displays 4 jumps out of a total of 5.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll look into this.

In the meantime, could you try 2.0.1?

Could you please send me the link to it?

Hi Cas,

Just re-run the beta update utility with your X2 and it should update to 2.0.1.

I’m using the new version 2.01, and so far, everything is working fine. I did three jumps today, and all of them were recorded and downloaded to my phone.

Hi Arthur i noticed that device not show correct name of way point if i choose way point higher than fifth. On the example i choose sixt way point and on main screen and gps screen i see name “default waypoint”. Distans it seems is ok.

@Model is this at 2.0.0 or 2.0.1?

I have already updated to FW 2.0.1

I’ve checked this and yes this is a small bug - it shows as “default waypoint” but the actual waypoint is the one you selected. Is the distance showing correct?

I can upload the fixed firmware later today.

yes, distance it seems ok. I will wait for new FW. Thanks

Is there new beta FW released? Including waypoints name issue?

I’ve just put BETA 2.0.2 online. Re-run the beta firmware update to get it.

Changes include:

  • improvements to battery reading code
  • fix for waypoint name issue

As before, post on this thread if there are any issues with this release.

I see release note still 2.0.1

EDIT: after update in device i see 2.0.2. It means only in tool is missing information about newest version of FW

Sorry about that, release notes updated as well.

Hey guys,

Please make sure to post here as soon as you’ve tested the beta firmware, so I can continue rolling out test features.

When the logging/syncing is confirmed to be reliable, next features in the pipeline are:

  1. Reverting modes if detection was a mistake (requested by @Wexi )
  2. Jump/canopy mode: ability to customise colours with altitude
  3. Exit separation timer

Hi, logging/syncing it seems that it work fine (after few jumps). But I noticed one strange thing. After landing device X2 still registered path (device was still under canopy mode). See picture. FW. 2.0.2 and altitude offset -50m in settings.

Thanks for the feedback! That’s exactly what the ‘reverting modes’ feature will fix.

I’ll prepare it for testing.
