Action is required - please read this page for more information.

USB drivers

• If you are updating from Flash Multi 0.2.x you will need to update the device drivers for the DFU bootloader.
• If you are downloading and running Flash Multi for the first time you will need to install the MULTI-Module drivers.

In both cases, click the Advanced menu then Actions -> Install USB Drivers. If you are upgrading, make sure you have a MULTI-Module plugged in.

Changes since 0.6.0

Fixes

• [Windows] Fix a bug in the maximum firmware file size detection for STM32 modules
• [Windows] Free resources if exceptions occur

• [Windows] Remove the bootloader choice and always use the sticky DFU bootloader when updating the bootloader via DFU
• [Linux] Add MCU flash size verification for updates via USB (can be disabled with -d switch)
• [Linux] Better 'shebang' line for compatibility with more distros (#38)
• [Linux] Add nix support (#39)
• [Both] Update signature parser for latest signature version (differentiate STM32 module sub-types)

Fixes

• [Windows] Disable windows and dialogs auto-scaling when the font changes to keep the UI consistent (addresses #34)
• [Linux] Fix USB serial support detection in firmware files

v0.2.4

Changes

• Minor UI changes to align with MULTI-Module branding

Antivirus Detection

Previous versions of the installer package were created using InnoSetup, which seemed to cause several anti-virus packages to incorrectly detect a virus and quarantine the download. Moving forward the installers will be built using NSIS, which will hopefully resolve this problem.

In the event that the installer does trigger an anti-virus detection, this is probably due to the USB driver installer.

If you are concerned, please download the .zip file instead.
