This is the guide to teach you how to use WhatsminerTool to upgrade Whatsminer M50 firmware via Whatsminer Tool.
Opposite to Antminer or other ASICs, WhatsMiner firmware can only be updated via their special Windows tool called WhatsMiner Tool (WMT) or with an SD card.
The optimizations of firmware upgrading include:
· Increase the stability of product operation
· An inevitable increase in hash rate
· Reduce a specific power consumption ratio and total power consumption.

6. If the status shows “Success”, the firmware upgrade is complete.
If the upgrade fails during the upgrade process, please check whether the firmware version is consistent with the miners.
If they are the same, please try 1~2 times again, then the upgrade will be successful;
If they are inconsistent, please restart the miner that failed to upgrade (restart or reboot after power off). Then, after the miner is online, re-select the firmware of the corresponding control board type and upgrade again.
