The Vu+ Util for serial flash , you can get it from here vuplus-support.org Forum

  • Image saved on the PC (nfi version)
  • Unzip files
  • Start Vu+ Util

 

  • Select your COM port

 

  • Check the DHCP if you do not have any static IP for VU+

 

  • Then click the Connect button

 

  • Now you should see “Serial port open success. Please turn on your box.”, then power on the VU+ and since DHCP is set, click Next button to set IP

 

  • Now you see " IP Setup Success" in VU+ Util

 

  • Now browse the *. nfi File menu. We recommend, of course, the VTi Image

 

  • And then click the Flash button I VU+ Util you will see "Reading file,please wait a moment..."

 

  • then it will appear "flashing process is completed"

 

  • Now the update is finished. You can click "disconnect" to disconnect and then exit at Exit button, in the VU + Util.Power off the VU+ and then restart the box
