Dream Player LITE – User Manual
5 Firmware Updates
5.1 Updating Your Firmware
One very special feature of the Dream Player LITE is the convenience of updating
firmware, no cables needed. Revisions of firmware are loaded onto the microSD Card
which allows you to load any critical updates to the firmware without having to totally
dismantle your project to get the unit to your computer.
5.2 Downloading the Firmware Update
When firmware updates become available we will announce it on our website
www.pricom.com
. On the download‟s page find the updated version of firmware and
click the download link.
The firmware updates are a special PRICOM Design file called PDI, which means your
machine will most likely not recognize the format and so you will be prompted with a
box asking if you want to Find, Save, or Cancel.
You will want to SAVE the file, and to a folder somewhere that makes sense and you can
find it, “PRICOM Downloads” would be a good example.
After you save the file to your machine you may simply load it onto your microSD Card.
