How to update (For existing TOFULinux setups)? 1) Download the latest firmware file.

** The first reboot after a successful update might take up 15~25 minutes, you will also get a "random offset" message during the update, please be patient and leave the box to finalize the initial start-up, its also a good idea to leave the new installation to "settle-in" for at least 30 minutes before performance is back to normal.
How to perform a factory reset (For existing TOFULinux setups)? 1) Install the mSD with image in the box.

How to determine which XIOS DS hardware version you have (M1 or M3) ?A: Check for the serial number
- Code: Select all
M1 --> S/N: 0002 G X XX XX XXXX
M3 --> S/N: 0002 G M3 X XX XX XXXX
M3v2 --> S/N: 0002 G M3 4 XX XX XXXX
TOFULinux M3 firmwares are compatible with both M3 and M3v2 hardware revisions.
- Note: Ethernet is automatically configured, to configure WiFi use the
"wifi manager" addon.
- Note 2: Attempting to migrate userdata from pre-tofulinux XBMC builds is neither recommended nor supported and is known to cause instability issues (due to mismatching bases between older builds and TOFULinux). Recommendation is to go through a clean setup once factory reset is completed successfully.
