Updating your Mountbatten Brailler Tutor
Updating of your MB Tutor may be done on three levels:
- Basic Mountbatten Brailler Operating Firmware
- Advanced Features Software Firmware
- Games
You can access this feature from the System menu, Update device or Update advanced
module option.
Each level is updated differently:
Updating Basic Mountbatten Brailler Operating Firmware
To update the basic firmware, you need the firmware update file set from the Producer of
Mountbatten Brailler Tutor. It comes in a folder named MBUPDATE.TUT that should be
placed in the root of a USB drive memory that needs to be placed in the upper USB socket
on the right side of your MB Tutor. While the USB drive is placed in the socket (when Tutor
is on), you will hear a "USB memory connected" message. Choose menu System ->
Update device. After an additional prompt, the update process will start automatically. It
may take several minutes, but up to an hour with some large audio updates.
When the basic firmware update is done, the unit will automatically restart.
Note:
If a USB drive memory will be removed from its USB socket after an update
command was issued, the device may get in an endless loop, expecting the update file
where it should be. To get out of the circle you need to place memory in a USB socket with
the proper file.
Updating Advanced Features Software Firmware and Games
To update the advanced firmware, you either need the firmware update file set from the
Producer of Mountbatten Brailler Tutor or set up the Internet connection.
Updating from a file on USB pendrive:
The advanced firmware update comes in a folder that should be placed in the root of a
USB drive memory that needs to be placed in the USB socket on the
left
side
(different
from the basic software) of your MB Tutor. While the USB drive is placed in the socket
(when Tutor is on), you will hear a "USB memory connected" message. Choose menu
System -> Update device -> Update advanced module -> Update from USB memory. After
an additional prompt, the update process will start automatically.
When the advanced firmware update is done, the unit will restart its Advanced Functions
Engine and get ready to work.
Updating from the Internet:
The advanced firmware update is placed on a server in the cloud, and Tutor can find it if
only it is connected to the internet. MB Tutor will determine the newest firmware and
update it automatically. Simply choose menu System -> Update Advanced Functions
