'''11/12/2020 - Linux update<br />'''
Today we released a new update for Linux users! It can be installed by typing the following commands in a terminal:
<code>sudo apt update</code>
<code>sudo apt upgrade</code>
Please reboot the unit after these commands.
The update includes a brand new feature which allow users to set the keyboard brightness either by using the key combinations Shift+Fn+B and Shift+Fn+N or by setting its value in the settings (System Settings ->Power Management -> Energy Saving -> Keyboard backlight)
The update also contains keyboard improvements and CoDi bug fixes.
'''18/11/2020 - The latest Linux Debian firmware v3 is now available!'''
To take full advantage of the latest features (such as CoDi trackpad control) you will need to manually install CoDi v15. Flashing this firmware is a relatively quick process, because it does not contain the (big) resource file. However, you should make sure you have the latest v14 CoDi firmware and resources before starting this update.
Once your CoDi is running v14, you can proceed to manually flash version v15. You will need to download the firmware from this location: [http://%20http://support.planetcom.co.uk/download/Cosmo_firmware-stem_ospi2_mouse15.bin http://support.planetcom.co.uk/download/Cosmo_firmware-stem_ospi2_mouse15.bin] (save it to the internal memory into the root directory) and install it manually using the Cover Display Assistant app on Android.
The flashing process does not need the second resource file but it assumes that the v14 firmware is installed.

Select "Advanced" and then "Flash Image Manually" and then select the<span style="color: #000000;"> Cosmo_firmware-stem_ospi2_mouse15.bin. To update the CoDi firmware click on the "FLASH NOW" button. '''After flashing, please ignore any over-the-air Cover Display assistant notifications to update firmware as this is a custom build.'''</span>
