Flashing Watchman firmware to Crazyradio PA

How to flash Watchman firmware to a Crazyradio PA dongle

This is a quick guide on how to flash the Watchman firmware (SteamVR tracking dongle) onto Crazyradio PA dongle.

CAUTION: It seems like the dongles end up with really short range, they work technically but is not really all that usable at this time.

Requirements

  • A Crazyradio PA dongle
  • A Linux device (Raspberry PI is excellent for this, but any computer running Linux will do)
  • The "SteamVR HDK" for the Firmware binary
    AFAIK no one can legally redistribute this, you will have to register for a SteamVR Tracking License to get this.
