and a 128MB SD memory card from Dikom. For network-

related tests, I connected it to a port of a D-Link 604T

ADSL modem/router.

Firmware Upgrade

Because the first thing you see when you open the box is a

big, red sheet of paper saying, “Please upgrade firmware

immediately”, that’s what I did. The procedure is simple,

requiring just a bit of attention. Depending on how old the

firmware loaded in your own OSD is with respect to the latest

upgrade, some steps I cover here may be different, and some

upgrading methods may not apply.

First, hook up the OSD to your TV, and check which

firmware version it currently is running by going to the

Settings→Properties menu of the on-screen user interface.

In my case, the version was 3.31-1.24. According to the

Neuros Web site, this version wasn’t new enough to

upgrade directly from the Internet, so I had to download

the latest one manually. In my case, this was an 11.7MB

file called osd-3.33-1.75-02.849.upk.

Next, I copied that .upk file to a USB key, plugged it in to

the OSD, selected the package from the file browser and ran

the “Upgrade firmware” option. I chose a USB key because

it was handy on my desk, even though the Web site warned

that my current firmware may not be able to upgrade from

such a device. Sure enough, when I tried it, the upgrade

failed in less than one minute, with a “Sorry, package

error” message.

The OSD, however, safely rebooted, so I got the memory

card, plugged it in, copied the .upk file from the key to the

card with the OSD file manager and re-issued the upgrade

command. Everything went fine, and in about ten minutes

I had the firmware that, among other things, can upgrade

directly from the Internet or schedule automatic upgrades of

stable or test versions at whatever frequency I choose.

Setting Up and Using the OSD

After upgrading, you’ll see a “Thank You” screen that invites

you to set up the OSD through a few interactive screens. The

first one is for LAN configuration. Just as during a standard

Linux installation, both static and DHCP configurations are

possible. I tried them both without any problems. After

configuring network and Wi-Fi, which you can skip altogether,

you can configure the IR blaster.
