- | The Walkera F-series transmitters have a very small Flash space. Too small for the traditional FAT fielsystem used by Deviation for other Walkera transmitters. Instead a custo filesystem was designed for these cases called 'DevoFS' The filesystem installation is different because of this. | + | The Walkera F-series transmitters have a very small Flash space.

After following the typical installation (using the DfuSe tool, or Deviation Uploader to install the dfu file), rebooting the transmitter should result in a screen that says 'Deviation USB' | After following the typical installation (using the DfuSe tool, or Deviation Uploader to install the dfu file), rebooting the transmitter should result in a screen that says 'Deviation USB' | ||
- | At this point, if you plug the transmitter into the PC via USB it should detect as an external drive with a single file 'devo.fs' This is a trick used in Deviation to provide a mechanism to directly access the filesystem. Do not attempt to delete this file or to format the filesystem. These tasks will not damage your transmitter, but they also will have no affect. | + | At this point, if you plug the transmitter into the PC via USB it should be detected as an external drive with a single file 'devo.fs' This is a trick used in Deviation to provide a mechanism to directly access the filesystem.

If you have the devo.fs file that came with the firmware (in the zip file), you can copy this to the transmitter now. This has been found not to work on MacOS (see below for the alternative). | If you have the devo.fs file that came with the firmware (in the zip file), you can copy this to the transmitter now.
