DJI MATRICE 100
How to Update the Firmware
Updating the Aircraft and the Battery Firmware
Your M100 uses the DJI Zenmuse X3 Gimbal with Camera
If you are using the DJI Zenmuse X3 Gimbal with Camera, follow the steps below to 
update the aircraft and the battery.
Updating the Aircraft Firmware
Step 1- Check the Battery Level and Micro SD Card Storage
Ensure that the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least 50% power level and there is at least 
100MB of free space on the Micro SD card.
Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package
1.  Download the rmware update package from the DJI Developer website.
(https://developer.dji.com/matrice-100/downloads)
2.  Insert the Micro SD card into your PC. Extract all the downloaded files into the root 
directory of the Micro SD card. While the M100 is powered off, remove the Micro SD 
card from your PC and insert it into the Micro SD card slot on the gimbal.
Step 3- Update the Aircraft
1.  Ensure the remote controller is powered off and then power on the aircraft. The 
rmware update will begin automatically once the aircraft is powered on.
2.  It will take  approximately 25 minutes to complete the rmware update.  The camera 
will sound a short pulse of "D-D-D-D" beeping sound to indicate that the update is in 
progress, and sound a “D —DD” beeping sound to indicate that the update has been 
completed successfully.
3.  Check the update  status  by  opening the .txt le that is automatically generated after 
the update. You  should  see the text “result: successful” in the .txt le if the update is 
successful. Otherwise, try updating the rmware again if you see the text “result: failed” 
in the text le or the gimbal sounds a long beep sound.
Updating the Intelligent Flight Battery Firmware
The Intelligent Flight Battery is updated during the aircraft firmware update. It is 
recommended to keep the update package les on your Micro SD card. The update will 
start automatically once the aircraft is powered on.
Update the rmware of an extra Intelligent Flight Battery as follows:
1.  Power off all Intelligent Flight Batteries.
2.  Insert the battery that needs the firmware update into the battery compartment 
connected to the ight controller.
3.  Power on the Intelligent Flight Battery in the battery compartment. The update will start 
automatically.
