WILD software update
Posted: Sun Apr 21, 2019 8:52 pm
Hi there, I recently bought WILD, which has basically the same HW as fitlet2. I was told that my unit has out-of-date system revision and that I should update it. The thing is, I don't know how.
I visited wiki(https://fit-pc.com/wiki/index.php?title ... )_software), downloaded img, decompressed and extracted it and flashed (using dd) onto a flash drive. Then I booted up WILD, select to boot from the flash drive, but it seemed to have booted from the disk/old revision. (I can tell that cause the old revision had other username that the new one, and the new one didn't work). My other idea was that maybe I should boot into WILD directly and from there do some kind of "hot swap", something like
where /dev/sda is my WILD's disk. But I am not very sure about that, I have never used dd to restore the disk image, so I am not sure whether that will work (I don't know whether I can rewrite files of system that is running). Could I get some "for dummies" advice, please?
