## Check your **@drivename@** firmware
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
MakeCode requires the firmware version **1.10E** or up.

Firmware is the software that runs all the basic operations on your brick. Your programs run with the firmware to make the @boardname@ do all the things you want it to do. Your brick comes with the firmware already installed. You could have a brick with an older version of firmware that needs updating in order for it to work properly with MakeCode.

To check the version on your brick,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* go to the **Settings** menu (wrench symbol)
|
||||||
|
* select to **Brick Info**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![Brick Info menu](/static/setup/brickinfo.jpg)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* check the version under **Brick FW:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![Brick Firmware version](/static/setup/brickfw.jpg)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you cannot find the **brick info** or the version is less than **1.10E**, **you need to upgrade your firmware**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**To update your firmware, use the [EV3 manager](https://ev3manager.education.lego.com/)** or follow these instructions: [Updating and Resetting Firmware](https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/help/products/themes-sets/mindstorms/updating-and-resetting-lego-mindstorms-ev3-firmware-408100000007884).

If your EV3 Brick isn't connected to the internet through a computer, or with some other mobile device, you'll need to do a manual update of the firmware.

If you try a reset and the **@drivename@** drive still doesn't appear, or you attempted a download and it didn't copy to the brick, you might need a firmware update.

**Offline firmware update**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If your EV3 Brick isn't connected to the internet through a computer, or with some other mobile device, you'll need to do a manual update of the firmware. You need to have the firmware file already downloaded and available on the computer connected to the brick.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To do this, read the instructions in the **Manual Firmware Update** section of the [Firmware Update](https://education.lego.com/en-us/support/mindstorms-ev3/firmware-update) support page.
