I’m not a computer expert so I don’t understand the steps to update DietPi on my Sparky/USBridge which arrived an hour ago.
The setup went well and in System Settings there’s a message that a new update is available. So far everything’s OK to me but I can’t understand the instructions how to update (see below):
How do I update?: To ensure stability and control of updates, they must be completed in the Linux terminal.
Log into the system (HDMI/SSH):
** user = root*
** password = dietpi*
Run the update:
** Run the command dietpi-update*
** Follow the onscreen instructions to update the system.*
** Once completed, reboot the system. The device will now be running the latest version of DietPi.*
NB: DietPi checks for updates daily, and during boot. If the update is not available, please reboot the system.
I really don’t know what login to HDMI/SSH means. Can somebody explain me what the steps are for a complete novice?
If you are using Windows you need to download a windows program Putty to use SSH. When you run that program in Windows it asks you username and password. After you entered that you put dietpi-update after that and hit enter. Then read what it’s saying on your screen. That’s all. It’s quiet simple, allthough it looked for me the first time abracadabra.
Btw, honestly I think you don’t have to update dietpi, cause it may cause problems bigger then htere are. If the USBridge is working correctly I advise not to update unless you read on the forum here it works allright. I bricked my USBridge several times, cause of updating Dietpi.
Yeah, that’s why I sold mine. Tired of all the messing up.
Did you put your usb-dac in the right usb? There’s one for audio, you have to use.
In the set-up screen I think you have to enable AVM A30 USB Audio. Not the atm7059_link.
