Reflash ben.sh
In order to update the internal software on the Ben NanoNote using the reflash_ben.sh
script, you need to first install the xburst-tools on a host computer that will provide the software images to the NanoNote. Once this is done, run the following commands at a shell prompt:
wget http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/software/images/NanoNote/Ben/reflash_ben.sh chmod +x reflash_ben.sh
Now boot your NanoNote into USB BOOT mode. As soon as this has been done, run reflash_ben.sh
. This will download some pre-built images and (re)flash the NanoNote.
You may need elevated privileges to perform the reflashing and thus might need to use a command like sudo
to achieve this:
sudo ./reflash_ben.sh
xburst-tools may attempt to reboot your NanoNote automatically. If this fails, use the hardware reset button on the bottom of the device by sticking the end of a paperclip or other thin, blunt object into the hole.
If the process was successful, after about 20 seconds, the NanoNote will boot into GMenu2X GUI. there is a Terminal Section under Gmenu2x or you can switch to a console by pressing Alt
+Ctrl
+F1
/F2
/F3
/F4
. To get from the console back to GMenu2X GUI, press Alt
+Ctrl
+F5
.
