To Upgrade from a USB stick
First you need to create a USB stick with the latest stable build:
- Go to the jffs2 download page for stable build, http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/
- Download two files to your local computer: fs.zip (about 200k), and osXXX.img (about 300M); where XXX is the build number.
- Put these two files on the USB stick at the root directory. Remove any other files on the USB stick.
Next, upgrade your laptop:
- Ensure you have both a power adapter and a battery plugged into the laptop.
- Insert the USB stick into the laptop while it is powered off.
- Press the Power button and it will start the update process, first by backing up your files.
- If you wish to remove all data and get a clean install, hold down all four gamekeys right after pushing the power button.
To see the version of code your laptop is running:
- Boot the laptop; and wait until you get the sugar home screen.
- Hold down Alt, Ctrl, and 'mesh' (the third key from the left along the top row).
- Check the version by reading the label just above the login: OLPC Build 649 (match that against expected build number).
- Hold down Alt, Ctrl, and 'home' (the 5th key from the left on the top row) to get back to Sugar UI.
