Update Milkymist One software (if you don't have the latest image yet)
- Update via web
- Before power on M1, plug Ethernet cable in M1
- Power on M1. If you haven't set up internet connection, follow the steps below, otherwise you can press and hold the most left button to start web updating.
- In M1 GUI, click on 'Settings' to go to System settings window
- In System settings window, Network section, click on Enable button to enable DHCP client (you may need to try several times). If you get IP address, the Network setup is done, otherwise you need to set up IP address manually.
- Here is an example of filling out network data manually:
- IP address: 192.168.1.41
- Netmask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.1.1
- DNS: 8.8.8.8
- In Remote access section, fill out the login name and Password.
- Click on OK button to finish network setup.
- On your PC:
- ping 'IP address' (e.g. ping 192.168.1.41)
- If you get response, means your M1 is connected to the internet.
- You can now press on the most left button or click on 'Web update' button, and then click 'Update from web' button in Update window.
- Update via serial cable
- wget https://raw.github.com/milkymist/scripts/master/scripts/reflash_m1.sh
- chmod +x reflash_m1.sh
- sudo ./reflash_m1.sh --snapshot milkymist-firmware-11282011-0543

NOTE: If you want to map slides/patches to remote control or keyboard, you can have maximum 24 slides with remote control, and 26 slides with keyboard.
- Create your slide as an image. Size: 512x384; Format: png or jpeg.
