# Download OctoQuad Firmware.

**WARNING: Flashing unofficial firmware may cause permanent damage to the OctoQuad, or to devices to which it is connected.**

## Firmware files

From time to time, official firmware updates for the OctoQuad may be released.
These Official firmware binaries are found here.

## Flashing firmware

To flash a firmware image onto the OctoQuad, follow the procedure below:

- Remove all power and data connections from the OctoQuad.
- Press and hold the BOOTSEL button (�B� on resin printed case)
- While holding BOOTSEL, connect the OctoQuad to a computer using the micro-USB port
- Wait until the emulated USB drive appears on the computer. The LED will remain off.
- Drag-n-drop the firmware image onto the emulated USB drive
- The OctoQuad will automatically flash the firmware and reboot. Flashing is complete when the emulated USB drive disappears and the status LED begins blinking an interface code.
