Any success with TX-500 firmware update from linux.


 

Hi All, just joined the group.

I have a Lab599 TX-500 that I received last year when they finally started shipping.

I am trying to use the linux update software to update the firmware, but failing.

The downloaded app does not seem to open at all. I have set it to being executable. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. It is in my downloads directory and when I try to run it, nothing happens.

So has anyone successfully used linux to update the firmware on their TX-500, and if you did, what exact steps did you take to get it to work? I have the digital cable and that is known to work with digital programs on the Raspberry Pi.

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 if that is needed information. I don't have a windows computer to use for this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and perhaps a step-by-step detailed procedure could be worked out for us linux users.

Thanks in advance,

Michael


 

Yes I was able to update using linux.? I downloaded changed it to executable and just ran it from a terminal window.? A window popped up and I ran the update.? You have a 64bit processor?? I think it will only work with a 64bit proc that is intel/amd based (not arm based).

I think that it was an older version of Linux that didn't have some of the dependencies for that package.

Eventually I just used windows.

I do think it was 64 bit, a Toshiba portege that is running 16.04

Thanks for the info though.
