How will the update take place?


Prerequisite

Attention, you must have at least 3Gb free in your share! Whether it is on the SD card, or on a USB key, disk or wherever.


  1. Run your Recalbox from 9:00 pm CET, and you will be notified of an update. Note that from version 7 on, only the update popup can be disabled. The tooltip will always notify you of an update.

  1. Open the UPDATE menu and start the update!3. The image of the new version will start downloading. Just wait for the download to complete. In case of an error, you can restart the operation. Once finished, Recalbox reboots.

  1. A few seconds after the reboot, the install starts. The first step may be really long (several minutes). Be patient! DO NOT restart or power off your Recalbox

  1. HAVE FUN!

Offline update

If you Recalbox is not connected to Internet, either in Ethernet or WIFI, don't panic! You can update anyway.

  1. Go to http://download.recalbox.com and download the right version for your board or your PC.

  2. Take your SD card out of your board (or your USB key, or whatever...), then use an SD card adapter to read it on your PC.

  3. Copy the Recalbox compressed image and the associated .sha1 file in the folder boot/update . If this folder is not empty, just delete everything in it so that you copy the image in a clean folder..

  4. Reboot! Then the install will start as shown in the stage 4 above.
