Upgrading your current RPi VTOS 4.2.4 or 4.2.5 version to the latest VTOS RPi 4.3.0 version is easy using the ViewSonic Device Manager3.0 (VDM3.0) The VTOS 4.3.0 release has many enhancements, bug fixes and a 50% faster boot time from power on to logged into a Citrix HDX session, the new VDM3.0 is available... - Page 40 VFM holds a tiny version of Linux that boots and runs completely in RAM, this is used to carry out upgrades The version of VFM on your Viewsonic 4.2.5 is very limited, it can only upgrade the Boot and Root partitions not the VFM partition, and it can only carry out upgrades over a Wired connection, NOT a WiFi connection.
- Page 41 Version 4.2.5 contains the old VDM3.0 Client which is the client end of the VDM3.0 connection. You must upgrade the VDM3.0 Client to 7.12.4 before you upgrade the VTOS Firmware otherwise the VFM partition is NOT upgraded to the new version of VFM until you carry out another Firmware upgrade on the same device...
