Introducing Binho Airlock, our new secure bootloader

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.

Update device firmware right from the browser

Updating your Binho device no longer means installing anything. Our new browser-based updater lives at dfu.binho.io: open it, connect your Supernova or Pulsar, and update right there.

Updating a device in the browser at dfu.binho.io.

The tool handles the busywork for you. It detects your device type automatically and always serves the most recent release, so you are never hunting for the right file. And for teams running customized firmware, the same tool lets you load your own tailored builds.

The updater runs on WebHID, which is supported in Chromium-based browsers like Chrome and Edge, and it works on Android devices as well. Safari and Firefox do not support WebHID yet, so reach for a Chromium browser for now.

One requirement: your device needs to be running the new Airlock bootloader, which now ships on every Supernova and Pulsar.
