the time zone, click 

America/New York

 at the top and chose the correct time zone to 

match your network. Close the dialog when complete.

6. Open a terminal window by clicking on the Terminal Icon on the VMware desktop.
7. To verify that the times are in fact matching, we’ll test a simple command to one 

particular Amino device (any device on the network). Type 

STBremoteconf <amino ip 

address> GETVERSION

 at the terminal and press Enter. You will be prompted for a 

passphrase. Type 

stbrckey

 and press Enter again. Your response should look like this:

Connected

0.15.2-A130-opera-gogi-cc-VBrick-1.0.2 

or

 1.1.3

Note that your version number may be different. If the response just says 

Got back:

 with 

no version number, the times are not synced properly. Go back and reconfigure them.

8. The upgrade is started by instructing the device(s) to begin listening for the upgrade at a 

known multicast IP/Port. This can be done by sending the command to an individual 
Amino device via unicast or by sending the command to all Amino’s on the network via 
the default listening multicast address of 225.10.10.10. 

If the multicast address is used, 

be aware that all Amino devices on the multicast network will be upgraded.

 If this is 

not desired, enter the individual IP address of the Amino device and run the command 
once for each device. Perform the upgrade by typing the following command at the 
terminal:

STBremoteconf <225.10.10.10

 or 

amino_IP_address> UPGRADEMCAST 225.50.50.63 11111

At the prompt: 

This command will affect every box listening on this network. Are 

you sure?

, type 

YES

 in upper case. When prompted for a passphrase, type 

stbrckey

 and 

press Enter again. The terminal will display the prompt again but the upgrade is 
happening in the background. You can verify this by checking the display on the Amino 
devices. It should say 

Upgrading. Do not Reboot

. After several minutes the devices will 

reboot and the upgrade will be complete.

9. After the upgrade is complete, verify by again typing:

STBremoteconf <amino_ip_address> GETVERSION

The version response should now be:

0.16.1-A130-opera-gogi-VBrick-1.2.3
