# Web console [Jump to command reference](#commands) ## How to connect If your DCHDMI is already connected to your local WiFi network: 1) Open the OSD and go to `WiFi Setup`. 2) Make sure it says `[Connected]` instead of `[Access point]` on the screen. WiFi connected 3) Press `Y` to reveal the `Web login password`. You can skip that, if you set an password in the Web console's setup. 4) Use a browser of your choice and enter the IP address shown next to `IP address` in the browsers address bar. *If you are using macOS or Linux with a running avahi daemon or Windows with iTunes installed, you can also use DCHDMI's zeroconf-`Hostname` (default: `dc-firmware-manager.local`)* 5) A login window should open. Enter `Web login username` and `Web login password`. 6) A command prompt should be displayed. ## How to update the Firmware from the web console *This assumes your DCHDMI is connected to a WiFi network.* 1) Connect to the web console. 2) *Optional*: use `check` to see, if a new firmware is available. 3) `download` new firmware 4) `flash` new firmware 5) `reset` DCHDMI to (re-)start with the new firmware. ## I don't want to connect my DCHDMI to my WiFi network, how do I update manually? 1) Download the firmware files to your computer: a) **Unified FPGA firmware**: https://dc.i74.de/fw/master/DCxPlus-v2.dc *If you're current firmware isn't v4.0 or newer, also download this **Transitional FPGA firmware**:*
https://dc.i74.de/fw/master/DCxPlus-default.dc b) **ESP firmware**: https://dc.i74.de/esp/master/4MB-firmware.bin c) **Web console**: https://dc.i74.de/esp/master/esp.index.html.gz 2) Open the OSD and enter the `WiFi Setup` page. 3) Make sure it says `[Access point]` on the screen. WiFi connected 4) Press `Y` to reveal passwords.
To be able to connect to the DCHDMI access point you will need the information marked **red**.
For web console access you will need the information marked **yellow**. WiFi connected 5) Connect your WiFi capable computer to the DCHDMI access point using: - SSID: `Access point SSID` - Password: `Access point password` 6) When connected to DCHDMI AP, use a browser of your choice and enter `192.168.4.1` in the browsers address bar. 7) The *Web console* should be displayed and setup mode should be started. Just hit `CTRL-D` to exit the setup. 8) *If your current firmware is v4.0 or newer:*
Use the `select` command and select the previously downloaded **Unified FPGA firmware** (`DCxPlus-v2.dc`) from the file chooser. *If you're current firmware isn't v4.0 or newer:*
Use the `select` command and select the previously downloaded **Transitional FPGA firmware** (`DCxPlus-default.dc`) from the file chooser. 9) `uploadfpga` to upload the file. 10) Use `select` again to select the previously downloaded **ESP firmware** (`4MB-firmware.bin`). 11) `uploadesp` to upload. 12) Use `select` once again to select the **Web console** (`esp.index.html.gz`) file. 13) And upload it using `uploadindex`. 14) Now use `flash` to flash/apply all files to your DCHDMI. 15) `reset` DCHDMI to (re-)start with the new firmware 16) **Only if you ugraded from a version before v4.0**: 1) Use the `select` command and select **Unified FPGA firmware** (`DCxPlus-v2.dc`) from the file chooser. 2) `uploadfpga` to upload the file. 3) You're now able to switch between `Standard` and `Relaxed`. ## Commands ### Basic commands | Command | Description | | - | - | | `config` | Show current DCHDMI configuration data | | `setup` | Enter setup mode, to edit configuration | | `check` | Check for new firmware using ***Firmware Server*** and ***Firmware Version*** configuration data | | `download` | Download firmware from ***Firmware Server*** to staging area | | `flash` | Flash firmware from staging area | | `reset` | Reset DCHDMI.
