- Power up the EM-X270 while holding the "suspend/resume" button. You may release the button as soon as you see CompuLab logo on the LCD screen.

- Click on the Updater icon. EM-X270 updater application will start.
- Click Forward to continue, or Cancel if you decided to abandon the installation
- By default, updater application will search for /media/usb/em_x270.img image file. Press Open or fill the filename entry to choose another image.
- After you've chosen the image, press Forward.
- Press Start! button to update EM-X270.
- 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. |
