System Upgrade
System upgrades allow new features to be provided that affect the underlying operating system that
runs on the CPU of the BIT-2100. A system upgrade file with the file name “image.stream”, furnished
by BitifEye, and a USB thumb drive, is required
Follow these steps:
•
copy the file “image.stream” on a USB thumb drive
◦
the USB thumb drive must contain exactly one partition which is formatted with FAT32
or ext4
◦
the file must be in the top-level directory, with the filename unchanged
◦
make sure you only use image.stream files that are intended for the use with a BitifEye
BIT-2100B
•
plug the USB thumb drive into the USB type A connector at the rear side of the instrument
•
if the instrument web interface is accessible:
◦
enter the update page on the instrument web interface
◦
under “System Upgrade”, click Upgrade
◦
follow the instructions on the screen
•
otherwise:
◦
turn the instrument off
◦
press and hold the LAN reset button, and turn the instrument on
◦
hold the LAN reset button until the display indicates that the system upgrade is in
progress
•
the instrument will reboot into a special upgrade system; you can follow the progress on the
instrument’s display, as the instrument web interface won’t be available during this process
•
once the upgrade is done, the instrument will reboot into the freshly upgraded operating
system
During the system upgrade, the instrument’s display will show something like this:

Once the update is complete, it should show something like this:
Upgrade Done
Rebooting...
