5 Firmware Updates
5.1 Updating Your Firmware
One very special feature of the Dream Player is the convenience of updating firmware, no
cables needed. Revisions of firmware are loaded onto the micro SD Card which allows
you to load any critical updates to the firmware without having to totally dismantle your
project to get the unit to your computer.
5.2 Downloading the Firmware Update
When firmware updates become available we will announce it on our website
www.pricom.com. On the download‟s page find the updated version of firmware and
click the download link.
The firmware updates are a special PRICOM Design file called PDI, which means your
machine will most likely not recognize the format and so you will be prompted with a
box asking if you want to Find, Save, or Cancel.
You will want to SAVE the file, and to a folder somewhere that makes sense and you can
find it, "PRICOM Downloads" would be a good example.
After you save the file to your machine you may simply load it onto your micro SD Card.
5.3 How to Update Your Firmware
To initiate the firmware update process just follow the steps below.
1. Power off the Dream Player.
2. Remove the mirco SD Card.
3. Load the Card into your computer.
4. Copy the PDI File onto the card.
5. Insert the card back into its position on the Dream Player.
6. (important) Hold down the onboard button while reapplying power.
7. Reapply power to the Dream Player.
8. The two LED‟s will flash four times to indicate the unit is in update mode.
9. You may stop holding down the button at this point.
10. The Red LED will rapidly strobe while the update is taking place.
11. Generally the update takes only a few seconds and upon completion of the update
the LED will stop flashing, and you are ready to go.
Note: Remember to hold down the button when reapplying power to the unit.
