How do I upgrade VTOS RPi 4.2.5 to the new VTOS RPi
4.3.0 using VDM3.0?
Upgrading your current RPi VTOS 4.2.4 or 4.2.5 version to the latest VTOS RPi
4.3.0 version is easy using the ViewSonic Device Manager3.0 (VDM3.0)
The VTOS 4.3.0 release has many enhancements, bug fixes and a 50% faster boot
time from power on to logged into a Citrix HDX session, the new VDM3.0 is available
at this link Download VDM3.0 here
You must install the new VDM3.0 first before upgrading the previous VTOS 4.2.4 or
4.2.5 releases to the new VTOS 4.3.0
The new VTOS 4.3.0 Firmware is downloaded to the PC running VDM3.0 by clicking
on the VDM3.0 Download Icon, a new VDM3.0 Client 7.12.4 which MUST be
downloaded and installed before the VTOS firmware upgrade, this ensures that the
old 4.2.4 or 4.2.5 image is completely upgraded including the VFM Partition.
This upgrade must be done on a wired Network, all future upgrades after VTOS
4.3.0 has been installed can be done on Wired or WiFi Networks. Your configuration
information will be lost in this upgrade procedure but future upgrades from 4.3.0
onward will retain configuration information. A particularly important step is to install
the new VDM3.0 Client 7.12.4 before upgrading the Firmware and to carry out a
factory reset after the upgrade from version 4.2.5 to version 4.3.0
The 3 easy steps to upgrade are,
(a) Click on the VDM3.0 Download Icon and then select the check box next to
VDM3.0 Client 7.12.4 for Platform VS_RPi and also select the check box next to VS
RPi firmware 4.4.47-4.3.0 for Platform VS_RPi. This will download and automatically
unzip the files to the VDM3.0 Client and VDM3.0 Firmware directories. Select the
check boxes next to the devices to be upgraded
(b) You MUST install the new VDM3.0 Client first, click on VDM3.0 -> Tools -> Install
-> Install VDM3.0 client, the selected SC-T25 will download and install the VDM3.0
client which takes around 10 seconds
(c) Click on the VDM3.0 -> Upgrade Icon, click on OK to install the latest Firmware
version 4.4.7-4.3.0
(d) After the upgrade is completed you MUST carry out a Factory Reset on the
SC-T25 using Ctrl-Alt-r pressed twice within 2 seconds, the device will reboot a few
seconds later. This action will erase previous configuration information which may
not be compatible with the new 4.3.0 release. Factory reset may also be done via
VDM3.0 -> Tools -> Reset to factory defaults or using the local Vsconfig menu ->
Device Tab.
This step is not needed in version 4.3.0 onward which retains previous configuration
information, do not use this step on VTOS 4.3.0 onward as your previous
configuration information will be erased if you do this.
Steps (b) & (d) are only required for updates from the previous VTOS 4.2.4 or 4.2.5
to VTOS 4.3.0
