TRMNL X Not Broadcasting TRMNL Network

You unboxed your new TRMNL X and it's showing firmware 1.7.5 and stating to connect to "TRMNL-XXXX" network to complete setup, but it's not broadcasting.

The first ~75 TRMNL X devices we shipped were loaded with firmware v1.7.5, which should automatically update to the current version once they are connected to internet. However, due to two reasons, it may not be able to do so through the normal flow. Here's how to fix it.

Entering Flashing Mode

Please see our guide.

If it doesn't update to the current version (1.7.6+) after following the steps on the flashing page, you may need to exit bootloader mode by trigger a soft reset.

Get Out of Bootloader Mode

Please perform a soft reset as described in our troubleshooting guide.


Once the firmware is updated, the TRMNL-XXXX network will broadcast and allow you to complete setup normally.
