Additional information for "How to manually install an updat

[rainrainrain]

The FAQ contains a post "How to manually install an update?", however this assumes that you have an SMB client available to perform the update. You can also do it using SSH by scp'ing the updated firmware onto the Meteohub device:

Code: Select all

scp update-v4.9y.upd meteohub@<meteohub_address>:/tmp/

Note that you have to use /tmp since the location given in the FAQ instructions, /data/transfer, isn't writeable by the meteohub user and trying to chmod it gives 'Operation not permitted'.

Once you've uploaded the firmware, select /tmp/update-v4.9y.upd as the firmware image to update and go through the update process as described in the FAQ. Since /tmp is cleared by the reboot that occurs during the firmware upgrade process, there's no need to go back and delete the firmware image that you uploaded afterwards.

You do not need to know Linux to manually install the update.
The only thing which is important: connecting a Mac or a PC via your local net to the Meteohub. Normally on a Mac you have to use the finder menu Go => menu choice Connect to server ==> and then fill in smb://ip-adress
On my windows7 PC it is even easier. I only have to click on the network icon and the meteohubs appear. Double click on one of them, give the user-id/passw and the public folder opens.

I do not know if both Sheeva and iConnect are visible in a PC/Mac network. I think they should be visible, one way or another. If you can see find them you can follow the viewtopic.php?f=23&t=9704 step by step install.
