The scientific goals and concept design of the Hard X-ray Imager (HXI) for MIRAX are presented to set the context for a discussion of the status of the HXI development. Emphasis is placed upon the RENA ASIC performance, the detector module upgrades, and a planned high altitude balloon flight to validate the HXI design and performance in a near-space environment.
