To update an OLPC, follow the steps below:

  • Copy to a PC/laptop the files attached here. In the same list also include .usb and .toc (not contained in the file due to their size)
  • Insert a flash drive into a USB port and execute sudo make_flash.sh. Τhe script will then format the flash drive, will name it olpc and copy to it all files necessary to perform an update.
  • Alternatively, if you don’t have Linux, format your flash drive into FAT32 and copy the files manually.
  • Insert your flash drive into the XO-1 and execute sudo olpc-update –usb in the terminal. Wait while the software and firmware are being updated (approximately 20 min.)
  • Execute sudo python /media/olpc/update.py. Select Yes when required.
  • With the XO-1 plugged in to power supply AND with battery installed, reboot to complete the firmware update.
  • Connect to open mesh and select Activity Update. The update is now complete.
