Introduction
To use all the latest features and innovations of our BEEKS beacon product line you will sometimes have to do a firmware update on your beacons. This guide will show you what you need to get your firmware upgraded with ease.
Requirements
To get your beacons updated to the latest revision you need to use an Android device with Android 4.3 or later or an iOS device with iOS 5 or later. The phone or tablet used for the update must support Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Smart, formerly Bluetooth Low Energy). If your device meets these hardware requirements, then you can use one of our following apps to get your beacons upgraded:
- BEEKS Beacon Maker app for iOS
- Bluzone iOS app / Bluzone Cloud
- Bluvision iOS SDK Sample app
- BEEKS Beacon Toolkit app for Android
- Bluvision Android SDK Sample app
The next section of this guide will walk you through each of the above possibilities to upgrade your beacons' firmware.
