Boyue Updates

ernieh · 05-27-2019, 03:22 AM

Does anyone know if there is a place where updates for the various models are available? I know that initially they are available on the system update in the settings menu but that soon comes to an end and that is further complicated by the situation where the badge engineering supplier goes belly up like Icarus did. In our house we have a T80d (Mars), T80 (was Icarus XL Illumina ) and T61 (was Icarus Illumina). The Mars is current but there is no source that I know off to download the system update for the others. The T61 runs pretty well but the T80 has had ongoing minor problems. To attempt to improve it I recently updated it (T80) with the Inkbook 8 software that someone posted a link to on this forum but doing this rendered the dictionary which (after a battle) was working well, inoperative. I think the Inkbook crowd made changes to how the system works in relation to dictionaries to suit their customers in, I think, Poland but it does not work for native English speakers attempting to install sophisticated dictionaries.
I think that I could get the T80 working well with an original updated Boyue update instead of Inkbook one but searches have, so far, been unsuccessful.
There must be others with Boyue hardware who would also find a source for this software useful.
A general comment is that it would nice if suppliers when going out of business would find somewhere to make the software available after their demise.

I found some firmware for my T80s, originally an Illumina XL HD limited ed at the above link. The thread there has 2 different versions of the 2.0.0 firmware if you look carefully. The 2nd version is posted as just an update.

Thanks but don't see any links for latest, or any, updates for T80 (not T80s).

These should be for t80 but don't know if they have English language in the rom or not. The onedrive link does not work for you?
