IOIO Firmware Upgrade for Bluetooth Support

Introduction

Bluetooth support for IOIO has been introduced in firmware version 3.10. If you happen to have a IOIO board running older firmware and would like to upgrade it to be able to use Bluetooth (or any other newer feature) - this page is for you!

Note: This page is irrelevant for IOIO-OTG owners. Those boards all have later firmware, which already includes Bluetooth support.

Upgrade Instructions

Use the IOIO Manager application in order to upgrade both the bootloader and the application-layer firmware. You will need bootloader V3.0 or greater and application V3.10 or greater. Both are available from the Downloads page. The bootloader has to be upgraded first. As a shortcut, an image bundle which includes both is provided. Note, however, that this process is slower than upgrading the bootloader first and then using it to upgrade the application.

This is a step-by-step video explaining how to upgrade your existing IOIO to support Bluetooth:
