The following LAN-enabled devices produced by RESOL support firmware updates over the air:
- RESOL Datalogger DL2
- RESOL Datalogger DL3
- RESOL KM1
Although RESOL continues to publish firmware updates on their homepage, the automatic firmware update service has been shutdown due to legal reasons.
Performing a firmware update now requires you to download the appropriate image files, put the files onto a SD card and insert that into the device. And in the case of the KM1 (which has no SD card slot) this method isn't even an option.
This project originally started as a way to update a RESOL DL2 version 1.x to version 2.x, but has been extended slightly to support updating all three products to current firmware versions.
This software is provided as-is. Use it at your own risk!
Performing a firmware update over the air always has the risk of failing and leaving the device in an inoperable state. If that happens the device must be sent back to RESOL for a firmware restore.
You have been warned!
- Node.js (tested with version 4.4.5) and its npm package manager
- git
To get a local copy of the repository and install all required Node.js modules you need to run these commands from your console:
git clone https://github.com/danielwippermann/dl2v2update
cd dl2v2update
npm install
After that you need to download and unpack one or more of the firmware image bundles provided on RESOL's homepage:
# for DL2
wget https://cdn.resol.de/firmware/RESOL_DL2-2.1.5-201602081156-Firmware.zip
mkdir public/RESOL_DL2-2.1.5-201602081156-Firmware
cd public/RESOL_DL2-2.1.5-201602081156-Firmware
unzip ../../RESOL_DL2-2.1.5-201602081156-Firmware.zip
cd ../..
# for DL3
wget https://cdn.resol.de/firmware/RESOL_DL3-2.1.5-201602080850-Firmware.zip
mkdir public/RESOL_DL3-2.1.5-201602080850-Firmware
cd public/RESOL_DL3-2.1.5-201602080850-Firmware
unzip ../../RESOL_DL3-2.1.5-201602080850-Firmware.zip
cd ../..
# for KM1
wget https://cdn.resol.de/firmware/RESOL_KM1-2.1.5-201602081152-Firmware.zip
mkdir public/RESOL_KM1-2.1.5-201602081152-Firmware
cd public/RESOL_KM1-2.1.5-201602081152-Firmware
unzip ../../RESOL_KM1-2.1.5-201602081152-Firmware.zip
cd ../..
If you download and unpack all bundles, your public directory should look something like this:
public

└── index.html
After you completed the initial setup you can then start the service:
$ node index.js
Server started, happy updating...
URLs:
- http://192.168.2.100:3000/api/update/<token>
Valid values for <token>:
DL2v1 => RESOL DL2 Version 2.1.5 (201602081156)
DL2v2 => RESOL DL2 Version 2.1.5 (201602081156)
DL3 => RESOL DL3 Version 2.1.5 (201602080850)
KM1 => RESOL KM1 Version 2.1.5 (201602081152)
This start-up message contains important information on how to use the service. It:
- displays one or more URL templates under which the service is accessible (if permitted by firewall)
- displays tokens for all firmware images found in the public directory
To perform a firmware update using a service different from RESOL's official service you need to change the "Firmware Update URL" in the device's configuration web interface. You can construct this URL by replacing the "" placeholder from one of the URLs with the correct token for your device.
To update a KM1 using the configuration given above I could use the following URL:
http://192.168.2.100:3000/api/update/KM1
- Extended to support more devices and newer versions
- Initial version
- Allows to update a DL2 with firmware version 1.x to firmware version 2.1.0
