Goal
rs-fw-update tool is a console application for updating depth camera firmware.
Prerequisites
In order to update a depth camera firmware, a signed image file is required.
The latest D400/L500 camera firmwares are available here.
The firmware is packed into zip file and contains a file with “bin” extension with the following naming convension: “SignedImage_UVC<firmware_version>.bin”
📘 Note:
For Windows 10 users, the pre-built Intel.RealSense.FW.Update.exe executable file (.exe) is located at https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/releases/latest .
=> For other operating systems please install the SDK
❗️ Attention Lidar Camera L515 owners
Please use the device firmware update tool that comes with the librealsense SDK starting version 2.35.2.
Usage
After installing librealsense run rs-fw-update -l to launch the tool and print a list of connected devices.
An example for output for a D415 camera is:
connected devices:
1) Name: RealSense D415, serial number: 725112060411, ASIC serial number: 012345678901, firmware version: 05.11.01.100, USB type: 3.2Then we will provide the serial number to identify the device together with the path to firmware file that we want to update rs-fw-update -s 725112060411 -f Signed_Image_UVC_5_11_6_250.bin.
An example for the expected output is:
search for device with serial number: 725112060411
update to FW: Signed_Image_UVC_5_11_6_250.bin
updating device:
Name: RealSense D415, serial number: 725112060411, ASIC serial number: 012345678901, firmware version: 05.11.01.100, USB type: 3.2
firmware update started
firmware update progress: 100[%]
firmware update done
device 725112060411 successfully updated to FW: 05.11.06.250In case only one camera is connected you can simply run rs-fw-update -f Signed_Image_UVC_5_11_6_250.bin.
A camera/s might be in a recovery state, in such case listing the devices will output the following:
connected devices:
1) Name: RealSense D4xx Recovery, serial number: unknown, ASIC serial number: 012345678901, firmware version: unknown, USB type: unknownIn such case we can use the recovery flag and run rs-fw-update -r -f Signed_Image_UVC_5_11_6_250.bin
An example for the expected output is:
update to FW: Signed_Image_UVC_5_11_6_250.bin
recovering device:
Name: RealSense D4xx Recovery, serial number: unknown, ASIC serial number: 012345678901, firmware version: unknown, USB type: unknown
firmware update started
firmware update progress: 100[%]
firmware update done
recovery done
