Updating Base Station 1.0 firmware via cable connection
You can connect the base stations to the USB port on your computer and update their firmware.
- From your computer, open the SteamVR app.
-
If you see the
icon, mouse over it to check if the firmware is out of date. If so, click
Update Device.
- Unplug the base stations from their power adapters, and then carefully unmount them.
- Using a micro-USB cable, connect the base stations to one of your computer’s USB ports one at a time.
-
While pressing the Channel button at the back of the base station, plug in the base station’s power adapter.
Once the base station is detected by the SteamVR app, the firmware update will start automatically.
Warning: Do not unplug the micro-USB cable or power cable before the firmware update is complete. Doing so could result in a firmware error. - When the update is complete, click Done.
