Detailed instructions
:
1.
Once downloaded, extract the files "fpga1.dat", "fpga2.dat" and/or "fpga3.dat" for your
board to your PC and then copy them to a FAT32 formatted USB stick or USB HDD, in
the root directory.
2.
Power off the console and remove the power cable entirely or use the switch on the back
for PS3 fat models.
3.
Wait 5 seconds, then connect the USB stick or USB drive to the Cobra ODE clip on
board then plug back the power on the console.
4.
The update should takes around 2 minutes to finish. The LED should flash between red
and purple colors during the entire time of the update indicating that the update is in
progress.
a.
If the update fails, you either have NOT updated to the BOOTLOADER
1.3, or you used the wrong FPGA image for your board version.
5.
When the update has finished, if the FPGA being updated was
fpga1.dat
, then the LED
will turn off completely.
6.
You must then remove the FAT32 HDD, and delete the fpga1.dat file, then remove
power to the ODE before restoring power to it again.
7.
If the FPGA being updated was
fpga2.dat
or
fpga3.dat
, then the ODE will boot
automatically and the LED will become solid red to indicate there is no manager or
database on the USB stick, or green if the fat32 drive you're using also contains the
manager and cobra.db file.
8.
Once it is done, then you can turn on the console and enjoy the new features provided
by the firmware upgrade.
Note: It is important to delete the fpga1.dat file from your HDD/USB key after the
update has completed (LED completely off) otherwise, it will continuously update the
FPGA again. The fpga2.dat and fpga3.dat files can be kept on the HDD and will not
be updated again if they are already at the same version.
