How to Clear the Cache for SDX-Mate – Sodex Innovations

Why this matters
Clearing the cache forces the tablet to load the newest available version of SDX-Mate. Since the Hermit browser does not automatically refresh application files from the webserver, this is the only method to receive a new SDX-Mate version on the tablet.

Summary

When a new version of SDX-Mate is released, the tablet may still show the old cached version. Clearing the Hermit browser cache removes the outdated files and forces a full reload of the newest SDX-Mate version.

You can trigger this refresh by clearing the cache in the Hermit browser settings.

Introduction

SDX-Mate runs inside the Hermit browser. Hermit stores application files locally and does not automatically re-download updated versions from the SDX-Cloud servers. Clearing the cache forces Hermit to remove the old version and retrieve the new one.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Clear Cache in Hermit Browser Settings

Open the Hermit Settings
1. Inside SDX-Mate, tap the settings icon (top-right).
2. Tap “Global Settings”.
Clear Cache
1. Open the “Privacy” section.
2. Select “Clear cache”.
Reload SDX-Mate
1. Close the settings and restart SDX-Mate to load the new version.

Tip
If the tablet still shows the old SDX-Mate version after restarting, repeat the steps above and ensure you selected “Clear cache” (not just closing the app).

Common Notes

This is the only way to load a new SDX-Mate version on the tablet.
Clearing cache does not delete project data or settings.

Important
Hermit does not auto-refresh SDX-Mate files. Use cache clearing to force a full reload when a new SDX-Mate version is released.
