B-106 Release Notes
Instructions for Updating
The CS-105 can be updated using several methods. TCS recommend using the TCS Depot or the Integrated Web Interface to apply the update, but it is also possible to use JMRI to update the CS-105.
When using TCS Depot, it is not necessary to download copies of the firmware files for this device. To use the other methods, first visit our Firmware page to find and download the correct firmware file. TCS Depot will automatically download the firmware files as long as you are connected to the internet. If you need to change WiFi connections from your home internet to the CS-105, start the depot program before changing WiFi connections so that the program can download the firmware files correctly.
It is necessary to put the CS-105 into bootloader mode to apply a firmware update. To put the CS-105 into bootloader mode, follow these steps:
- Unplug the power from the CS-105.
- While the CS-105 is powered down, press and hold the tactile button on the side.
- While holding the tactile button, reconnect the power supply.
- Continue to hold the button until you see the LEDs on the LCC jack start blinking in an alternating pattern (like a grade crossing), then release the button.
- Connect your PC to the same WiFi as the CS-105 - this may be the CS-105's own WiFi when using Access Point mode, or your home or layout WiFi if using Client Mode.
From here, follow the steps as described in the links above for updating via whichever method you have chosen. For the Web Interface and JMRI methods, make sure you have the firmware file downloaded to your PC first.
