  • After restart the system will boot Angstrom Linux from the internal NAND flash. Note, that the first boot takes relatively much time because Angstrom Linux performs a lot of one-time initialization tasks.

Make sure you do not interrupt the updater application after pressing Start!, keep the USB flash drive inserted and the device powered up during the update process.

Any time you would like to boot clean system from the USB flash drive, you can unpack the original LiveDisk.zip to the USB flash drive and start over.
