This page is generic installation instructions activated by template transclusion, and looking at the page like this (and not in Edit) won't help you understand it. The parameters expected are:

  • model: MODEL (XO-1, XO-1.5 or XO-1.75, case is significant)
  • build: BUILD (which build, e.g., 206)
  • ubifs: UBIFS (yes or no)
  • signed: SIGNED (yes or no)
  • release: RELEASE (which release version this build is intended for, e.g., 10.1.2)
  • path: PATH (the path via HTTP to the directory that contains the build file)

It differs from "Sofware Install" in that it is modified for the zd2/zd4/zd8 notation
