How to Upgrade

The board support to boot from mini-SD card or NAND flash.

Steps to burn the firmware to NAND flash

A PC tool called “Livesuit” is provided to burn the firmware from PC to the flash on board.

Livesuite requires a min-USB cable connect the PC to the USB OTG port on board.

Note: For the first time run livesuite, you need to install usb driver under livesuite dir. If the nand flash already have firmware, you need to connect your PC to the board via UART cable.

And set the baund rate to 115200, press keyboard “2” before power on to enter the force-update process.

See Livesuite manual(under livesuite software dir) for more details about livesuite.
