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.
