Oowow update with new version

The version of OOWOW I’m using on my Edge2 is 241112 beta. When I boot into OOWOW, it shows that this version is the latest one on the network and says there are no updates available.

However, on the OOWOW download site, the latest version is 250507, and if I go into the individual version folders, I can see that version 250801 has also been uploaded.

  1. Is there any way to make it update automatically online?

  2. If I update manually, would it be safe to update to version 250801?

I have the same problem, I am also stuck on OOWOW 241112 on edge2, in “System > “Update system” it reads “Already up to date.“ But the new versions are available - dl.khadas.com - Index of /products/oowow/system/

Is this problem by any chance related to the fact that there edge2 v12 and edge2 v13? In oowow “System” > “Device Info” I can see that my model is “RK3588S“ (not “RK3588S2“ )

I tried to upgrade manually using linux command line tools, but the problem remains. I tried to write the newest oowow into eMMC edge2-oowow-250801.000-sd.img.gz and SPI edge2-oowow-250801.000-spi.img.gz.

When booting into eMMC I can see the new version is in use.

However after booting into oowow SPI (holding FUNCTION key + press RESET key) the version is still 241112.

Hello @hyphop

Please help on this issue.

I also tried several methods, but automatic updates were not possible. Since I don’t have a PC with Linux installed, I couldn’t perform the update through a PC either. In the end, I installed the update image on an SD card and updated the device to the latest version manually. (USB stick was recommended, but not work.)
The manual also explains that updating OOWOW on the Edge2 must be done through a PC with Linux installed.


Online update was switched to the new 250801.000 version.
