Page 35: Appendix B: Updating Using An Sd Card
Appendix B: Updating using an SD card Besides using the Web interface, it is also possible to update the firmware of the Z3-DM368-RPS using an SD card. The process requires a Windows PC, an SD card, and the ZWriter tool (included with the RPS). The process for updating via SD card is as follows: (1) Locate the img update file received from Z3 and copy it to your Windows computer. -

-Is the Ethernet cable plugged in to the Z3-DM368-APP board solidly (do you see the link light)? -Does the Z3-DM368-RPS IP address and the PC IP address have the same first 2 values (or, if netmask is set to 255.255.255.0, the same first 3 values)? -Do the Z3-DM368-RPS and the PC running VLC have the same netmask? (Default value is 255.255.0.0) - Page 37 -If you modified the exports file, did you remember to restart the NFS server after that? When contacting Z3 Support for additional support, please capture and include a log file with the diagnostic level set to analysis. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N 8 ST, STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 USA ♦ +1.402.323.0702...
