ROCK Linux command line access?

Roon Software Discussion ROCK

Hi,

I am about to install ROCK on a new Intel NUC and wonder if it is possible to enter the Linux command line of that system.

Background info: I might need to update the firmware of the main Samsung 980 Pro M.2 SSD and don’t know how to do it except via Linux command line.

EDIT: I have some Linux experience, but have never used ROCK.

There is no access to ROCK. As an alternative, you can boot a “thumbdrive” distribution (for example an ubuntu install image will do fine) to temporarily boot into an accessible Linux for the firmware update.

Great, that answers my questions! Many thanks :slight_smile:

I have not tried this, but on my NUC there is a firmware update procedure that uses a firmware image on a thumb drive and a special boot sequence. I don’t remember the details but I believe it does not require you to boot into any OS.

Regarding firmware for an SSD, you probably would need to boot an OS… I’ve not heard of anyone upgrading firmware on an SSD…
