Update TFT Firmware

TFT firmware updates are comprised of two parts:

  1. The firmware binary (BIGTREE_TFT*_V*.*.*.bin). Example: BIGTREE_TFT35_V3.0.25.2.bin:
    • BIGTREE_TFT_35: model
    • V3.0: hardware version
    • 25.2: software version
  2. Fonts and Icons (TFT* folder):
    • TFT*/font: fonts
    • TFT*/bmp: icons

Copy both the BIGTREE_TFT*_V*.*.*.bin and TFT* folder to the root of a blank SD card that is <8GB and formatted as FAT32:
