When i run the firmware check example, I get the output attached.
However, in the firmware updater tool (ide 1.8.13, nina v 1.8.3), the latest firmware version I have listed is 1.3.0.
How do I upload 1.4.3 to my board?
The problem is that the NINA firmware is distributed with the Arduino IDE, but there have been several releases of the firmware since the last production release of the Arduino IDE.
However, there is an hourly build of the Arduino IDE that always has the latest version of the NINA firmware. So you can download the hourly build and then use that version of the Arduino IDE to update the firmware on your MKR WiFi 1010. You can download it here:
Just download it, unzip the downloaded file, then run the arduino.exe that's inside the unzipped folder. It won't interfere at all with your existing Arduino IDE 1.8.13 installation so you can just use the hourly to update your firmware and then go back to using 1.8.13 if you like.
Thanks pert - I'll try that out. Can we have that info as a sticky on the forum, or the wifinina github page? I followed this page WiFiNINA Firmware Updater | Arduino and it could lead people who use the ide release versions off track.
Hello, problem is that hourly and nightly do not (at least to me) have the option "frimwareupdater" in menus. Is this a specific file we can move from one installation to the other?
Hi @alexopth1512. Make sure you're using the hourly build of the classic Arduino IDE (current version is "1.8.;14 Hourly Build 2021/03/09 09:33). The beta phase Arduino IDE 2.0.0 does not currently have any firmware update capabilities.
After that, please check to see if there is a "WiFi101/WiFiNINA Firmware Updater" option under the Arduino IDE's Tools menu. Like this:

Yes, but it can be somewhat complex to do this. Using the hourly build of the Arduino IDE is the easiest way to do it.
