Updating the Firmware

To update the firmware on the IceBox, download the update file above, then get the IP address of the IceBox by going into the settings (the cog icon on the main screen), then going across and selecting "System Information". On the "Summary" tab write down the "IP address" (this will be referred to as IP_ADDRESS for the rest of this guide)

Then choose the steps for you depending if you are using a Windows PC or a Mac:

For a Windows PC:

1. Open the Run box by pressing the Windows and "R" keys together on the keyboard
2. In the Run box that comes up type in "\\IP_ADDRESS" (without the quotes, and put in the actual ip address that you wrote down above, for example "\\192.168.0.89"), then click on OK
3. If it comes up asking for a username and password then put in a username of just 'guest' and don't put anything in the password field.
4. On the list of folders that comes up go into the "Update" folder.
5. Copy the file you downloaded above with the filename of "IceBox-Generic.x86_64-12.1.1.img.gz" to this "Update" folder and wait until the you are sure the file has finished copying.

For a Mac:

1. Full details on this process is available on the Apple website at https://support.apple.com/lt-lt/guide/mac-help/mchlp1140/mac
2. In the finder under the "Go" menu select "Connect to Server"
3. In the "Server Address" field type in "smb://IP_ADDRESS" (for example "smb://192.168.0.89")
4. Click connect
5. Select to connect at "Guest"
6. Select the "Update" share as the one to connect to
7. When the folder opens copy the file you downloaded above with the filename of "IceBox-Generic.x86_64-12.1.1.img.gz" to this "Update" folder and wait until the you are sure the file has finished copying.

Once the update file is in the correct location, the rest of the process is on the IceBox itself.

Press the power button on the remote control and a menu will come up for "Power Options", go down to "Reboot" and press the "OK" button on the remote control.

The IceBox will reboot twice, after the first reboot you will see some text on the screen as the update is applied, then it will reboot again into the new IceBox firmware. You will know the process is complete once the normal IceBox home screen is shown.
