How to upgrade the Vu+ image via Serial Port

Manchmal kommt es vor, das wir die Box nur noch via serielles flashen zum laufen bekommen. Dafür benötigen wir dann die *.nfi Datei und das Vu+ Util.
Das Vu+ Util zum seriellen flashen bekommen wir im vuplus-support.org Forum

• Image am PC abspeichern (nfi Variante)
• Datei entpacken
• Vu+ Util starten

• Deinen COM Port auswählen

• Häckchen bei DHCP wenn du noch keine IP der VU+ vergeben hast

• dann auf Connect Button klicken

• nun solltest du “Serial port open success. Please turn on your box.” sehen, also VU+ am Netzschalter einschalten und da DHCP gesetzt ist, als nächstes auf Set IP Button klicken

• nun siehst du " IP Setup Success" im VU+ Util

• jetzt das *.nfi File auswählen. Wir empfehlen natürlich das VTi Image

• und danach auf den Flash Button Klicken. Im VU+ Util steht dann "Reading file,please wait a moment..."

• danach kommt "flashing process is completed"

• Nun ist das Update fertig. Ihr könnt mit klick Disconnect und dann auf Exit Button das VU+ Util beenden . VU+ nun über die Power Taste neu Starten
