Follow this guide to update the Blue Pill software.

If the Blue Pill device does not have access to the internet, the option to download the core via the web browser should be available.

Update Operating Packages

Open the 'Packages' page.
Locate the 4 lines: 'hardware-manager' / 'system-manager' / 'reactor' / 'SkaarOS*
If a green 'Update' button is displayed to the right of any of them, this means there is an update available.
If so, please click the 'Update' button for each of them or the Update All button 
( After the update, if they do not display 'Running' you must click the 'Stopped' text and select 'Restart'. )

System Manager and SkaarOS do not update via the Update All option. These need to be updated individually.
