USB update
A USB update means to use a USB drive to update an OLPC XO laptop.
The concept is broad:
- using a USB drive to install a release, which erases all existing data on the XO,
- using a USB drive to update or upgrade from an old release to a new release, which preserves most of the existing data on the XO,
- using a USB drive to reflash firmare, and;
- using a USB drive to add activities,
