v2 to v3 software update question

annaelise

Hi, this might be a silly question but if I have an OAK-D that is currently running the depthai v2.28.0 software and I want to upgrade to v3.1.0, is there something I have to do with upgrading the camera's firmware to make this compatible? I've been having some bugs just trying to update my code to the newer version and I'm wondering if there's something deeper going on.

Hey @annaelise - You don’t need to manually “firmware upgrade” the OAK-D for v3 – the depthai library always uploads a matching firmware blob at runtime.

What does change between 2.28.0 and 3.1.0 is the API and pipeline semantics, so most bugs you’re seeing are likely from code changes, not a firmware mismatch.

You can try running some of our ready-to-run v3 examples to test it out. Just make sure you have DepthAi v3 installed.

Thanks,
Oskar
