UniSoft RDtech Firmware Mirror

This repo is a mirror of alternative firmware created by UniSoft for the RD family of power supplies by RD Tech.

Installation instructions

Download this firmware:

git clone git@github.com:wildekek/rdtech-firmware-unisoft.git

Preparing your power supply:

Press Shift+Menu to enter settings
Navigate to "Interface" and set it to "USB".
(Only if updating UniSoft firmware)
- Set the USB Interface to 115200
- Disable UART Interface-

Find the serial port:

First list your serial ports:

$ ls /dev/tty.*
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port  /dev/tty.wlan-debug

Then connect your PC to the power supply via micro-usb, turn it on, and list the ports again

$ ls /dev/tty.*
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port /dev/tty.usbserial-110 /dev/tty.wlan-debug

In my case it's connected to /dev/tty.usbserial-110, remember this when flashing.

Flash the firmware

I recommend you use Timo Kokkonen's riden-flashtool. Make sure to adapt the command to reflect your serial port and device model:

$ git clone git@github.com:tjko/riden-flashtool.git
$ cd riden-flashtool
$ pip3 install pyserial
$ ./flash-rd.py /dev/tty.usbserial-110 ../riden-firmware-unisoft/RD6006/RD60062_V1.41.1k.bin
