EFI Live V8 Software Download & Spade Update Instructions

This article will explain how to update your Spade device.


Autocal Update Instructions

 

  1. Download and install the latest version of EFILive's V8 software, available here.
  2. Connect your FlashScan V3 or AutoCal V3 device to your PC.
  3. Start the EFILive Scan and Tune application (Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->EFILive Scan and Tune) or from the shortcut on your desktop.
  4. Click the [Control Panel] button at the top of the window.
  5. Click the F6 Firmware option.
  6. Boot Block and Firmware versions are displayed.

  7. If a firmware or boot block update are available then the [Update Firmware] or [Update Boot Block] button will be visible. You should click that button to update the firmware in the connected device.
  8. After the firmware has been updated FlashScan/AutoCal V3 may display a boot block update message on the LCD screen.  If the user does not update the boot block after the firmware is updated, the boot block update message will be displayed each time the device is powered.  The boot block update needs to be done in order for the spade to function properly.

  9. Once everything has been updated, close the Control Panel window and the update is complete.
