Updating the Parrot MKi9100 internal firmware

It's always good to have the latest version of any firmware available in order to get the best experience out of the equipment in hand.  I did so by following the instructions available here:
http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/parrot-mki9100
In doing so I upgraded from the supplied version of v1.42 to v1.96 then to v2.11
That's ACTUALLY A LOT OF UPDATES!

Original version which only had about 8MB free memory

1st update took about 4/5 minutes and freed up so much memory (so if that much code was removed would there be a MAJOR speed improvement?  As the code will have been massively optimised!?)



A couple of screens to show what you should be expecting when updating/upgrading.












This update somehow lost the 'Bluetooth' pairing to my phone but no worries it wasn't hard to re-pair.
And it also added a Dual Paired Mode...








I've also registered with the Parrot Website so hopefully they will email me whenever an update's available rather than me having to check it every so often!

  1. Hi, great, maybe you can upload update files? From parrot support website is not possible to download firmware files, all links are wrong. Thanks a lot for your help.
