Updating the Gmini
Updating the Gmini
500 Firmware Operating System (OS)
500 Firmware Operating System (OS)
ARCHOS
periodically updates the Operating System (OS) and makes it available for free download on the
ARCHOS
website (www.archos.com). Updates to the Operating System include new features, feature
improvements, and bug xes. You should check to make sure that you are running the most recent version of
the OS. To check what version you have, click on the Settings action icon and then go to System . You will nd
the most recent version of the OS and its version number at the ARCHOS
website (www.archos.com) under
the download section.
Download the Update_Gmini
500.AOS le
When you click on the link to download the new OS le (the le name is
Update_Gmini500.AOS), your browser may warn you that the contents of the
download may harm your computer. This is because the Windows
®
system does not
know what a .AOS le is. Be assured that ARCHOS
has made every effort to ensure
that the le does not contain viruses. Click on the option Save to download this le
to a convenient place, such as My Documents , in order to later copy this le to your
Gmini
500. If your Gmini
500 is connected to your PC, you can even save it directly
to the Gmini
500.
Read the History.txt File
You will also nd next to the rmware download, a text le which details the list of changes from the previous
version of the OS.
Copy to the Gmini
500
When updating your Operating System, you must keep the AC charger/adapter
plugged into the Gmini
500 so that it will not shut down due to low batteries while you
are performing the update. Connect your Gmini
500 to your computer (refer to the
relevant chapter if you are unsure about this), and then copy the Update_Gmini500.
AOS le to the Gmini
500.

‘Hard Drive’ or ‘Windows Device’?
If your Gmini
500 is seen as a hard drive, then you simply need to drag the Update_Gmini500.AOS
le onto this icon, and Windows
®
will place the le into the top most directory (root) of the Gmini
500. It
should not be placed inside any folder within your Gmini
500. Once this le is copied, safely disconnect
(refer to the chapter on Connecting/Disconnecting) the Gmini
500 from the computer.
If your Gmini
500 is seen as a Windows
®
Device, then you will have to open the Gmini
500 Device in
Windows
®
Explorer and drop the Update_Gmini500.AOS into the Data folder (not the Media folder). If
there is already an older version of the Update_Gmini500.AOS le on your Gmini
500, Windows
®
will ask
if you want to overwrite the current le. Click on Yes. Disconnect the Gmini
500 from your computer.
Activate the Update
Ensure that your Gmini
500 is still powered through the AC charger/adapter.
Next, on hte Gmini
, go to the System parameters from the Settings action icon and
then move down to Update Firmware and click on it. The Gmini
500 will search for the .AOS le. Follow the
on-screen instructions. When completed, the Gmini
500 will restart and you can go back to this screen to verify
that you have updated the rmware to the new version.
