Platinum Firmware Upgrades
Note: All files on any connected hard drive or USB drive are left
untouched, as are any files in the directories /home, /root, /var
and /usr/local. In addition, any file with an extension of
.local will be preserved: this is the mechanism by which most
configuration settings are safeguarded.
To perform a standard upgrade from the web interface, select:
Tools → Firmware
The following screen will be displayed:
Press the
button and watch the screen for any error messages.
To perform the same upgrade from the command line, simply enter the
command:
eam999 ~ # upgrade
with no arguments. Watch the screen for any error messages and then reboot
to complete the process.
Note: Certain upgrades (depending on the initial version number)
make it difficult or impossible to reboot the system via the web
interface. In these cases, the system can be rebooted from the
command line (with the reboot command) or by power-cycling.
5.4.2 Upgrade and restore defaults
The standard upgrade respects and preserves user configuration settings. In
some circumstances it may be necessary to overwrite these settings and return
all configuration settings to their factory defaults. The unit is not completely
restored to factory condition: this allows for the possibility of implementing
customisations and user-developed scripts which persist across upgrades.
Note: All files on any connected hard drive or USB drive are left
untouched, as are any files in the directories /home, /root, /var
and /usr/local. Files with the extension .local are deleted.
