This guide details the methods to update the firmware on WizarPOS devices. Ensure that the firmware package is obtained from WizarPOS. Here are the Methods of Updating Firmware.
== Using a TF-Card (When Terminal is Off) ==
* '''Preparation:'''
** Format a 4G to 16G TF-Card to FAT32 and name the folder 'wizarpos' (in lowercase). Refer to '[[How to Select Optimal TF Card (Micro SD Card) for Smart POS Systems]]' for compatible card types.
** Ensure the folder structure on your TF-Card matches the example provided.

* '''Update Process:'''
** Power off the terminal and remove the battery.
** Insert the prepared TF-Card into the terminal.
** Power on the terminal. The update will commence automatically.
** After the update, the terminal restarts. Verify the update by checking the 'Build number' and 'Kernel version' in 'Settings > About POS'.
* '''TF-card Location in Q2:'''

== Using a Thumb Drive ==
* '''Requirements:'''
** Ensure the PosSysAssistant application version is at least 2.11.22.
* '''Preparation:'''
** Create a directory "\cloudpos\image" on the thumb drive.
** Depending on the firmware package's root folder, copy the 'xxx.zip' file accordingly (refer to detailed instructions).
* '''Update Process:'''
** Connect the thumb drive to the terminal using an OTG-USB host converter.
** Select the firmware file from the pop-up message.
** After copying the firmware to internal storage, restart the terminal to apply the update.
** Verify the update in 'Settings > About POS'.
== Using a TF-Card (When Terminal is On) ==
* Follow the same steps as the thumb drive method.
* '''Note:''' This method is not applicable for Wizarhand Q1 models as the battery must be removed to insert the TF-Card.
== Using WizarView ==
*For remote firmware updates, refer to the '[[How to update firmware remotely]]' guide.
== Using Application Interface ==
* WizarPOS provides an AIDL interface for third-party applications to update system firmware.
* Refer to the attached [http://ftp.wizarpos.com/UpdateSystemDescription_1.1.docx documentation] and [http://ftp.wizarpos.com/SystemUpdateTest.zip Demo] for guidance. Note that the firmware system package must be obtained from WizarPOS.
'''Post-Update Verification:'''After any update method, confirm the new 'Build number' and 'Kernel version' in 'Settings > About POS' to ensure the update was successful.
