How to upgrade the Siri remote control firmware

What about the Siri remote control firmware? Apple TV 4, which runs a completely new tvOS system last fall, is also a bright spot with its own Siri remote control, and maybe you know how to update the system for Apple TV 4, so you can see how to upgrade Siri R Emote's firmware?

In fact, upgrading the firmware of the Siri remote control is much simpler than upgrading the Apple TV 4 system, although the remote control firmware is included when the tvOS system is upgraded, but the latter can be done independently.

The first is to check the Siri remote control firmware version, and then go to "set-remote control and device-Bluetooth-remote control" to view version information. The latest official firmware version of the Siri remote control matching the latest version of tvOS 9.1.1 (version number "13u717") is "0x0241" ("tvOS" on beta 4 9.3 0x0245). If you are below this version, you can try the following steps to update.

-Enter "settings-remote control and device-Bluetooth" in turn

-Select "Remote Control" (Do not click on the touchpad on the remote control to enter the option)

-Fast press four times the play/pause button on the remote control

-The system automatically jumps back to the remote control and Devices menu

-firmware is automatically downloaded in the background

When the Siri remote control firmware is downloaded backstage, it will be automatically updated when Apple TV 4 and the remote control are not used, the update process takes 10-30 minutes, the remote is automatically restarted after completion, and the reboot will take about 30 seconds and the remote control cannot be operated.

It is important to note that the Siri remote control must have 25% or more of the power remaining when upgrading the firmware. In addition, the update process can also be monitored via Xcode in the Apple TV device control platform.
