4.2.5.1 Updating with a download from the website and a USB flash drive
Updated versions of the Mobile Panel operating system are made available on the B&R website in the form of
an upgrade package that includes a Mobile Panel image. To update the Mobile Panel system using an upgrade
package, the following steps must be carried out.
1. The Mobile Panel MP7100 series upgrade package must be downloaded from the B&R website. This upgrade
package is located at different locations on the website (login required):
°
Directly on the product page (it is possible to search for the model number) under tab "Downloads".
°
On the download page under "Industrial PCs > Mobile Panel".
2. Unzip the ZIP file. It contains the following files:
°
MP71xx.zip (xx stands for 20, 21, 40 or 50)
°
Liesmich.txt
°
Readme.txt
3. Unzip the contents of file MP71xx.zip directly in the root directory of a USB flash drive.
Information:
The USB flash drive must be reformatted with FAT32 before the procedure.
4. After unzipping, cmd.exe must be opened with administrator rights.
5. It is then necessary to switch to the USB flash drive in cmd.exe, e.g. drive E.
6. Then the following command must be executed:
E:\boot\i386\syslinux.exe --directory /boot/t70 --install --active --mbr E:
No message will appear if execution takes place without errors.
7. The USB flash drive must be connected to the Mobile Panel before the boot procedure, and the image will
be programmed automatically after the Mobile Panel is switched on.
Information:
On the MP7120 and MP7121, a standard USB OTG adapter cable is necessary for this.
