Adafruit feather M0 wifi firmware update

Question

I just noticed that the firmware on the m0 wifi might need updating but says not to use the provided updater, how do you update the firmware so ?

Thanks

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK Here's what I did... (maybe some steps not necessary, but this worked for me)

1) First run the "CheckWifi101FirmwareVersion" found in the Arduino WiFi 101 library.

• NOTE: You need to add in the WiFi.setPins(8,7,4,2); after void setup() {
• If it's backlevel (before 19.4.4), then

2) Download the Adafruit WiFi101 Updater on github ( https://github.com/adafruit/WiFi101-FirmwareUpdater/archive/master.zip )

3) Install the "FirmwareUpdater" from the Arduino WiFi 101 Library

• Add in the recommended changes (even if it's the defaults)

  #define WINC_CS 8
  #define WINC_IRQ 7
  #define WINC_RST 4
  #define WINC_EN 2 
  

  and the usual WiFi.setPins(8,7,4,2) after void setup() {

4) Copy the firmware you wish to flash to same directory as "winc1500-uploader.exe"

5) Run the command:

winc1500-uploader.exe --port [YourComPort] --firmware [YourFirmwareFileName].bin

So for example I did:

winc1500-uploader.exe --port COM9 --firmware m2m_aio_2b0.bin
