Updating MinimOSD Firmware

If you just want to update your OSD board, the easiest way is using released .hex files from our Download Section and use our configuration tool as explained below.

Important NOTE:
After updating your OSD to the firmware 2.0 or above you need to keep your Config Tool updated.
This will update your EEPROM for new resorces automatically. You just need to connect the board to the new OSD config.

So, is mandatory to install the newest "ArduCAM OSD Config Tool" and also update the Character Set.
A new charset is available on the Config Tool's install folder. From now on it will be always there as "OSD_Charset.mcm".

Using ArduCAM Config Tool

1. Connect your FTDI Serial adapter (Like this one) to the six-pin connector.
   
2. Select the proper Serial COM Port (on the example bellow is COM12. Your adapter may use another one);
   
3. Go to menu Options and select Update Firmware.
   
4. Select the desired .hex file (you can download the latest one here) from your PC and press Open;

When the process starts, you board will reboot and go to the upload process in few seconds.
If there is a video monitor attached to the OSD, the screen will turn to a blank state.
You have to observe the loading bar on the bottom of ArduCAM OSD Config screen.

Using Arduino

This project is based on Arduino. So, you can download the code, make tweaks, customize or just update the firmware through Arduino IDE.
All you need to do is checkout the source from our http://code.google.com/p/arducam-osd/source/checkout'>SVN repository.
