'''WARNING: THIS WILL OVERWRITE YOUR NAND in the XO-1 with the new OS.'''

Please read the instructions found [http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=4768.msg31772#msg31772%3E on the OLPC News site].

Please read the instructions found [http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=4768.msg31772#msg31772%3E on the OLPC News site]. Refer to Message #3: "How to install". You must have a Developer Key, and security disabled on your OLPC.

* Refer to Message #3: "How to install".

* Please note: Software has been updated since that posting. The latest Software is available here:

<code>http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/?C=M;O=D</code>

* Note: Be sure to plug in your laptop using its AC charger to ensure that the installation process is completed. (The firmware will not be updated under battery power.)

* Put ~~these~~ files (.img and .crc) on a USB ~~stick~~ formated as FAT32.

* Put the two corresponding files (.img and .crc) of the same version-number on a bootable USB/SD device formated as FAT32.

* Add your [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys Developer Key] to the USB.

*'''Be certain to disable security first as per the instructions.'''

*'''Be certain to disable OLPC-security first as per the instructions.''' You can control this, when Open firmware prompts: "No WP Tag" it means "is already disabled".

* ~~Follow~~ the ~~instructions as per Message #~~3 (and ~~following troubleshooting~~).

* Connect your device to the OLPC

* ~~Note~~: ~~Be sure~~ to ~~plug in~~ your ~~laptop using its AC charger~~ to ~~ensure that~~ the ~~installation process is completed~~. ~~(The firmware will not be updated under battery power~~.)

* Boot while holding down the "checkmark button".

When Open Firmware counts down 3 seconds "...before automatic startup", push the "escape button", to get to the "OK" OpenFirmware prompt.

** If the files were downloaded onto an USB stick:

type

probe-usb

Press Enter.

Control if Open Firmware has detected your device. (A "found" usb when probing, eg usb:/***/disk means u have to name it in the command: copy-nand disk:\os***py.img)

Then type

copy-nand usb:\os***py.img

and press Enter.

(note: replace *** with your actual versionnumber/filename.)

** If the files were downloaded onto a SD card:

type

copy-nand sd:\os***py.img

and press Enter.

* when the colored points arent changing anymore and Open Firmware says: OK

disconnect your USB/SD and type

reboot

When there happens a failure message (or no at all but no booting-process), try to overwrite your files a second time, try to re-download your file (eg "crc miscompare"), try to reformat your usb-stick (eg "is not a multiple of the nand erase block size"), try googling...

try!

In the case of success: '''Enjoy!'''
