Firmwareupdate
1. Open AxeOS
Open your web browser, type the IP address from the Bitaxe display into the address bar, and press Enter to access AxeOS.
2. Go to Settings
Click on "Settings" to access the settings. There you can check if a new firmware version is available and then directly download and install it.
3. Check for the latest version
Under Current Version, you'll see, for example, v2.6.1 – this is the currently installed firmware. Click Check to look for a newer version.
4. Download the latest firmware
After clicking "Check", AxeOS will inform you if a newer version is available - in our example v2.7.0 (the number increases with monthly updates). Now start downloading the two files by selecting the links:
- esp-miner.bin - Firmware for the controller
- www.bin - Web interface (AxeOS)
Save both files locally so you can flash them immediately.
5. Update Web Interface (AxeOS)
- Under Update Website, click +Browse.
- Locate the previously downloaded www.bin file (usually in the Downloads folder), select it, and confirm.
- The new web interface will be installed automatically; the browser will then reload the page once.
- Once the interface reappears, you can proceed with the actual firmware update.
6. Firmware Update
- Under Update Firmware, click +Browse again.
- Navigate to your downloaded esp-miner.bin (by default in the Downloads folder), select it, and confirm.
- The new firmware will be flashed automatically; wait approximately 60 seconds.
- The Bitaxe will then restart on its own.
Congratulations – your Bitaxe is now running on the latest firmware!
