Updating purchased device software

You can use TI Software Update to update the purchased software on your device. Updating purchased device software keeps the software running as efficiently as possible. You can update your purchased software from normal or merged view.

Warning: Do not disconnect a device during a download.

Before you start

Make sure you have the most current operating system on your device. (See Updating device operating systems.)
Make sure your device is properly connected to your computer.
Make sure your device has good or new batteries.
If you are in normal view and cannot see the device software files, click the arrow to the left of the device.

To update purchased device software

1. If the main window shows free updates, click View > Hide Free Updates or click Hide Free.

TI Software Update hides the available free updates.

2. Click the box next to each file you want to update.

A check mark appears in the box(es).

3. Click Update > Update Checked Items or click Update .

4. For each license agreement, read the information, and then click Agree.

TI Software Update downloads the selected files to your device and stores a copy of the files on the computer (by default, it stores them on your desktop). When the software finishes downloading, green check marks appear in the main window next to the selected files.

Note: If you want to view the update progress, show the log. (See Showing and hiding the log.)
