You can freely choose the two methods that we will describe below.




Update via USB flash drive using USB


Extract the downloaded file to a folder on our computer.
Inside the compressed archive will be present the following three files:

1.root_cfe_auto.jffs2
2.kernel_cfe_auto.bin
3.boot_cfe_auto.jffs2
The USB key must create a specific directory: 


The files go in a vuplus/duo/ directory from the root of the USB stick. You then put the USB stick in the front USB port on the vu+ duo, then turn on mains power and you should get:



Vu + read automatically at startup on the three files in the USB device and will immediately begin the upgrade process.


From this moment, we can see the progress of the display of the decoder.


At the end of the upgrade, we will report an end of the process and will be asked to reboot the machine after removing the USB device.


We extract the pen from the entrance forntale USB and power cycle the decoder, to enjoy the updates made.




PC Update

To update the computer-Vu +, we need a software for Windows, called VU + Util (clik to download)

Before you run the program, make sure that your decoder is connected to the computer via serial cable or port with both wired Ethernet network port.

1.We open the program Vu + Util



2. We select the COM port to use





3. Click on "Connect"





We can now read the message "Serial port open success. Please turn on your box. "(Serial Port opened successfully. Please turn on the decoder)
If instead we read "Serial port open failure", we see that there are other software that uses the COM port and that is the correct port.

4. After turning on the decoder, you can see the next screen.





If you want to disconnect the COM port, click the "Disconnect".


Local IP: The IP address of PC
Remote IP: IP address of Vuplus

Set the IP addresses accordingly, and press the Set IP
If you want to set the remote IP address using DHCP, select DHCP before clicking on "Set IP"


4a. If the IP address setting is successful, you will see the next screen.




5. click "Open"


you will have a new dialog where you can select an image file (*. NFI)

The X button is used to remove the file has been selected





At this point you just have to click on "Flash" and wait until the end of the transaction.
