  • drag the "hapax.bin" file into the SD card (do not change the file name)
  • insert the SD card in Hapax
  • power on Hapax while holding the main encoder and wait for the flashing procedure to complete.

Download HapaxOS 2.00 Release Candidate

Recommendations:
  • format your SD card with your computer ("FAT32" with Windows, "MS-DOS FAT" with Mac) before using it with Hapax
  • before updating Hapax, please backup your projects on your computer to prevent any SD file corruption
  • we encourage users to regularly backup projects besides the SD card
  • please use your dedicated SD card only with Hapax to secure your projects
  • if you still experience issues when updating the OS, even with a recently formatted card, please try an other SD card
