Boot And Os - 2Box DrumIt Five User Manual

7. Boot and OS

When DrumIt Five is powered on, the LCD will show the DrumIt signature, the serial number,
the boot version and the SDRAM test. While the SDRAM is being tested, one can press one ot
the DATA buttons to choose between USB mass storage mode, OS select mode or Test mode.
If no choice is made, the default DrumIt operating system will be loaded and normal operation
begins. If the OS is not found or damaged, the unit will automatically go into USB mass storage
mode. Any errors during boot will be indicated on the lower right side of the LCD.
USB mode enables the DrumIt Five to appear as an external storage device on the host
computer. If not connected or not recoqnized by the host computer, the USB Disconnected
status will be shown. If attached properly the status will be USB Connected. One can now copy
files between the host computer and the DrumIt Five. The letters R and W indicate read and
write activity, do not disconnect during this time, as this will result in data corruption. To update
the operating system, simply copy the new DrumItXYZ.bin file (XYZ being the version number)
to the DrumIt top level folder and restart. The boot program will load the most recent version,
but to save disk space, one can delete any previous versions.
OS mode allows one to select any available version of the operating system. Press Previous or
Next to browse through all available versions, then press Load to start the selected OS. The OS
version (or any error) is shown on the lower right side of the LCD. If the OS has a serial number
license which does not match the DrumIt Five serial number, the licensed serial number will be
shown.
Test mode is for maintenance purposes only.
