We are making eKnitter updates easier.

The current update method stays available, but a simpler process is coming with the upcoming WebApp update.

Current process

Open-source software needed

The current update process uses an external open-source flashing tool. This can work for some users, especially on Windows, but it may not run reliably on every computer, on every Windows version, or on Mac.

  • Extra software required
  • USB cable driver may be needed
  • Can be difficult if the tool does not find eKnitter

Simpler update process

With the upcoming WebApp update, we are preparing a clearer and easier update process for Mac and Windows.

  • Clearer steps
  • Less dependent on extra software
  • Designed to make updating easier
