Firmware Update with a USB Drive (for NovoTouch EK-1)

Important:

  1. This document is applicable to NovoTouch EK series, including EK650i, EK750i, and EK860i.
  2. Each EK model has its own upgrade package. Please make sure you download the correct package for your model. Using a wrong package could make your NovoTouch unable to boot up.

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. The upgrade package is stored in a folder called “upgrade_551”. When you receive the firmware upgrade package, typically you need to unzip it first and then copy folder “upgrade_551” onto a USB disk. You should see the following file/folder structure on the USB disk.

  2. Power down NovoTouch panel.
  3. Insert the USB disk into the USB port at the front panel of NovoTouch panel.
  4. Press-and-hold button POWER until the LED flashes red and blue quickly, indicating the upgrade process is started. Please do NOT remove the USB disk during this process.
  5. A progress bar is shown to display the completion percentage. Once it gets to 100%, the NovoTouch will restart automatically. During this first-time boot-up, it will take a bit longer to perform some additional post-processing.
  6. Once it fully boots into Android home screen, the firmware upgrade is completed. Now you can unplug the USB disk.
