Bootloader Version

This example shows basic bootloader interaction, retrieving the version of bootloader running on the device.

Click on Bootloader for more information.

Note

We suggest using Device Manager, a GUI tool for interfacing with the bootloader and its configurations.

Demo

Example script output

~/depthai-python/examples$ python3 bootloader_version.py
Found device with name: 1.1
Version: 0.0.26
USB Bootloader - supports only Flash memory
Memory 'Memory.FLASH' size: 33554432, info: JEDEC ID: 01 02 19

Setup

Please run the install script to download all required dependencies. Please note that this script must be ran from git context, so you have to download the depthai-python repository first and then run the script

git clone https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-python.git
cd depthai-python/examples
python3 install_requirements.py

For additional information, please follow installation guide
