Manually Upgrade the Software Bundle on CE1
Oct 2023
Introduction
Unlike the RX1, the CE1 software cannot be upgraded from the UI, for the most part, upgraded are implemented via SSH.
SSH in to the unit:
ssh@ipaddress login as: mfeng/2u4y&C
Elevate yourself to the root user:
sudo -s (enter password 2u4y&C)
Give yourself write access to the upgrade folder:
chmod go+w /opt/mediakind/robust-upgrade/mnt/bundles/import
Copy the upgrade bundle to the following path:
/opt/mediakind/robust-upgrade/mnt/bundles/import (if you have issues with permissions, copy the bundle to /home/mfeng then move it to /opt/mediakind/robust-upgrade/mnt/bundles/import
Import the bundle using the bundle manager:
sudo bundle_manager import ce1-xxxxxxxx
Once the bundle has been imported, you should see the message:
SUCCESS=True.
Use the bundle manager to check availabe bundles:
sudo bundle_manager get_bundles
You should see a list of at least 2 bundles, and their versions: (because there are two banks)
ce1_3.2.0.0_908073010.mkb ce1_3.1.0.1_0.mkb
To deploy the new bundle, use the bundle manager: WARNING, THIS WILL REBOOT THE BOX IMMEDIATELY!!!
sudo bundle_manager switch_to ce1_//your_version//
Once rebooted, login again via SSH and use the bundle manager to check the version:
sudo bundle_manager get_version
The CE1/RX1 are very short on disk space, use the bundle manager to remove any old bundles.
sudo bundle_manager clear_auto
This will delete any bundle files not currently in use in either bank.
