- Updating on Mac is not recommended if it can be avoided.
- On MacOS Sequoia, and Sonoma from 14.4, updates are slow, may cause excessive flash wear on your WiFiCom, and may have issues upgrading CircuitPython.
- MacOS Sonoma before 14.4 corrupts files on CIRCUITPY drives! Put your WiFiCom in Drive Mode first, then use the workaround on [this page](https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/troubleshooting) before running `wificom-update-tool`.

## Updating
- Back up the files on your CIRCUITPY drive if you changed anything important. This tool aims to preserve previous WiFiCom config and only delete/overwrite specific files, but be cautious about any files you don't want to lose.
