Crayonic Firmware Manager
Status: In development. Details and timelines are preliminary.
Overview
Crayonic Firmware Manager is a standalone desktop tool for IT administrators to manage firmware across Crayonic devices — Crayonic Badge, KeyVault and Bridge — without the need for the full Crayonic Device Manager platform. It targets smaller deployments, labs, and technical users who want deterministic local control over firmware versions and policies.
For centralized, fleet-wide firmware management, use Crayonic Device Manager, which pushes signed firmware to endpoints through the Crayonic Agent.
Planned Capabilities
- Device discovery — list all Crayonic devices connected to the workstation
- Version inventory — current firmware version, hardware revision and health for each device
- Signed firmware updates — apply Crayonic-signed firmware packages to one or more devices
- Rollback — revert to a previously known-good firmware version
- Settings export / import — capture device configuration for backup or cloning
- Diagnostics — run on-device self-tests, collect logs for support cases
When to Use Firmware Manager vs. CDM
| Scenario | Use |
|---|---|
| A handful of workstations, lab use, one-off technical support | Firmware Manager |
| Central IT managing a fleet of endpoints | Crayonic Device Manager + Crayonic Agent |
| Manual firmware update for a specific device today | Downloads on the Downloads page |
Status and Early Access
Under active development. Until Firmware Manager ships, use the per-device update ZIPs on the Downloads page or the Agent-based auto-update path described in Crayonic Agent.
