Binho Airlock is our new and improved secure bootloader, and it now ships on every Supernova and Pulsar. It makes firmware updates easier to follow, frees up space for more application features, and opens new paths for updating in environments where the old approach fell short.
A clearer update experience. Airlock uses distinct LED behaviors throughout the update process, so you always know exactly what state your device is in.
A leaner footprint. We've reduced the bootloader's memory footprint, freeing up code space for more application firmware features on every device.
Two new ways to update. Alongside the existing USB Mass Storage Device method, Airlock adds firmware updates over USB HID and WebHID. That matters especially for enterprise teams whose IT policies restrict access to mass storage devices. They can now update over HID instead.
Every Supernova and Pulsar now ships with Airlock. For devices already in the field, the upcoming Mission Control 2 desktop software will let you update the bootloader yourself. The Binho Nova bootloader is unchanged.
