Software Deployment
Deployment is the process of setting up (or updating) the GT8 terminal with the required firmware,
application and settings*.
*If using a gt8-config.xml file, please refer to the user guide relating to your specific application for
instructions on how to configure this.
Note:
The deployment process will not downgrade already installed Android packages or firmware versions.
For example, a firmware file on the USB device will be ignored, if the terminal is already running the same or
a newer firmware version.
Deployment from USB memory device
1.
Format a USB memory stick as FAT32.
2.
Create a top-level folder inside the memory stick
named “GT-Install”.
Note:
The installer will only look for files in this
folder. Any files outside of this folder will be ignored.
3.
Copy the firmware and/or application files to the
GT-Install folder.
Note:
The supplied file must be copied to the
memory stick as is with file structure intact. Do not
unzip the contents of zip files.
4.
Properly eject the USB memory stick from your
computer.
5.
Start the “USB Install” utility (from the Apps
screen) on the terminal.
6.
Insert the memory stick into an available USB
port on the terminal.
7.
This will automatically detect the memory stick
and display an “Install” button.
8.
Click “Install” to complete the process.
Warning:
Only click “Install” if you wish to proceed.
You will not be asked to confirm the installation
and there is no option to quit. Once installation has
commenced the process must be allowed to finish.
This may take a few minutes.
9.
If prompted click “Reboot” to complete the
installation.
