Select operating system:
Note:
We have found that different versions of Windows 10/11 behave differently while installing drivers.
If you encounter problems, like a blue screen, it is very likely a problem with the Graphics driver.
We are waiting for Microsoft and Intel to solve this issue.
In the meantime a solution (/workaround) which seems to work and seems stable; also after further updates:
– Install Windows
– Download the Graphics driver from this website and unpack it
– Restart the BeFREE into SAFE mode
– Install the Graphics driver that you downloaded from this website
– Restart again, this time normally into Windows
– Now you can install the other drivers
– You can also let Windows find and install updates.

Writing settings and key contents into BeFREE 07:
- First use a Windows installation, using ChangeMe. Once it is programmed, it can be installed with Linux OS as the configuration is stored in the hardware. Or:
- Using Linux program tiprowrite – see below for details.
Tiprowrite
Program settings and key contents into Tipro devices on Linux OS.
Tipro products (BF22, BF20, BF10, BF07, intercom, speakerbox, handset) can be updated on Linux by creating a TXB file using ChangeMe on Windows computer and then writing it using tiprowrite program in Linux.
Installation:
- 1. Install ChangeMe version 6.0.0 or newer on a Windows system
a. Install ChangeMe: ChangeMe installation - 2. System with Linux
a. Download tiprowrite.zip from the link below
b. Extract the zip file into a folder where you will run it. It needs libtiprohidapi.so – see Tipro Linux API below.
Usage:
- 1. Create TXB file on Windows system:
a. Run ChangeMe (version 6.0.7 or newer) on Windows system.
b. Open your LAY file for your product – File > Open
c. Save it to TXB file – File > Save as batch update file (TXB) - 2. Transfer the TXB file to Linux system.
a. Run the tiprowrite program with a TXB file name as parameter – e.g. ./tiprowrite bf07.txb
Tipro Linux API
Allows you to communicate with Tipro devices and catch their key presses/releases in Linux OS.
The zip file includes .so library, .h files, installation instructions and an example. The example shows how to detect devices, communicate with their modules and catch presses/releases of buttons programmed with HID telephony content (HID telephony interface).
Drivers for previous versions can be found in Archive.
