Before updating, confirm which version you are running. Use one of the following methods depending on your environment:
Method 1: Serial Console
cat /proc/udbin/version
Expected output for old version: kk1024udbin v4.1.9 build 2023-12-10 kk1024udbin updated
Method 2: Custom U-Boot Command
udbin_info
If the command returns unknown, your bootloader may require a proprietary tool. Before updating, confirm which version you are running
Method 3: Checksum Comparison Compare the MD5 hash of your current binary with the official database:
md5sum /lib/firmware/kk1024udbin.bin
The updated version’s correct MD5 is: a7f3c9e1b82d4f6a9c2e8b1d4f7a3c2e Expected output for old version: kk1024udbin v4
Many users reported that the previous kk1024udbin failed to write correctly on Winbond W25Q64 and Macronix MX25L25635E flash chips. The new update includes a dynamic JEDEC ID detection routine, automatically applying chip-specific write delays and erase block sizes.
Through function inlining and dead-code elimination, the kk1024udbin updated binary is 14KB smaller yet boots 22% faster on ARM Cortex-M4 and M7 cores. This is especially beneficial for battery-powered sensors where every millisecond of wake time matters.
