# Proxy Support
#option http_proxy http://proxy.tld:3128
#option ftp_proxy http://proxy.tld:3128
#option proxy_username <username>
#option proxy_password <password>
...
...
The two options proxy_username and proxy_password should not be used even if your proxy requires
this information. Instead, write it as part of the URL in
http_proxy
and/or
ftp_proxy http
.
For example: if your proxy user name is
myusername
and your password is
mypassword
and your proxy
is using port 3128 on the server
http://proxy.mycompany.com
then you will need to enter the
following lines in the file
/etc/opkg/opkg.conf
, leaving the options proxy_username and
proxy_password untouched as comments or deleting them completely.

# Proxy Support
option http_proxy http://myusername:mypassword@proxy.mycompany.com:3128
option ftp_proxy http://myusername:mypassword@proxy.mycompany.com:3128
#option proxy_username <username>
#option proxy_password <password>

13.2 Working with ipks
13.2.1 Updating the mvBlueLYNX-X
Please follow these steps to update the mvBlueLYNX-X:
The mvBlueLYNX-X should have access to the internet, if you want to use MATRIX VISION's stable
feed. You may have to set up proxy details as described above.
Open a terminal window. 1.
Enter following line in the window:
opkg update
2.
Followed by:
opkg upgrade
3.
Ensure all new files have been written to the SD card:
sync
4.
It may be necessary to restart the camera (see below):
reboot
5.
If access to the stable feed from the camera is not possible then you will have to download individual ipks
using the browser on a PC and then transfer them to the camera individually. In this case you may have to
transfer all dependent ipks too but you will not know which ipks are needed until you try to install the new
package. opkg will tell you which other packages are needed.
