Firmware upgrade

System upgrade

With this function you can upgrade only the system area on the FOX board flash memory. This operation will overwrite just the read-only system partition of the FOX board. Data files stored in read-write partition will be untouched by the process, including:

• configuration files (under /etc)
• web pages (under /usr/html)
• custom binaries (under /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin)
• libraries (under /usr/local/lib)

Please note:

• After pressing "Upgrade", the transfer process will start. It can take some minutes. During this phase, no signs of life could come from FOX or browser, and this is normal.
• Do NOT close the browser, nor press "Back" or "Stop". Leave him alone doing his (long) work.
• Do NOT reset or turn off the FOX. The unit will restart automatically after upgrade is completed.
