What is themicro:bit firmware

Firmware is a special kind of software that makes the hardware function properly. In the case of the micro:bit, the firmware enables the device to be programmed via USB.


The micro:bit has two chips on the back of it; one of them runs your code, while the other one runs the firmware that enables the micro:bit to appear on your computer as a USB drive so you can flash a program to it. There are two micro:bit versions with different firmware, so you should check whether you have the latest version before carrying out the update.


There may be times when you may want to update the firmware to test out new software features.

The DETAILS.TXT file on the BBC micro:bit drive may give conflicting information to the same file when opened in MAINTENANCE mode. This is fine. In our case, we are only updating the firmware for the interface chip, so you will see the changes when the BBC micro:bit is reset in normal operating mode.
