OpenfiBoot

The first step - and this is critical - is to install openfiboot on your DMP1. If you are certain you already have openfiboot installed, you need not perform this step again. Openfiboot gives you the ability to recover your DMP1 in case something goes wrong during the openfi install. You can find the openfiboot installation file in the openfi download section on sourceforge.net: 
	http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143150&package_id=174712
Download armbootR2_v1.0.sfu and save it to disk. The .sfu suffix indicates that it is a "System Firmware Update".

Copy this file, renaming it in the process, to simpleUpgrade.zip (note the capital "U") in the transfer folder of your DMP1's disk.

Also make empty folders named "openfi" and "openfi_static" on your DMP1 disk. These directories are where Openfi will store programs, configuration, disk indexing and other data.

Now put the disk back in your DMP1 and turn on the ignition to boot it.

You should then see the DMP1 display "Upgrading omnifi." to indicate it's performing an upgrade. This will take a couple of minutes before it automatically reboots.

When it reboots, immediately hold down the HOME button until the animated "omnifi" logo disappears. If your Openfiboot installation was successful, at this point you will see a message about a failed upgrade. That's good - it means that openfiboot is installed and working, and you can enter failsafe mode in the future by holding down the HOME button during a boot.

Now your DMP1 should be protected from accidental permanent damage due to a failed firmware update. Any time you think you're in trouble, you can reboot your DMP1 and use the following instructions to install either openfi or the factory firmware. By the way, openfiboot works just fine with the factory firmware too.

Installing the operating system image and application

Leave the DMP1 alone now, remove the disk, and download the openfi install from: 
	http://www.realbig.com/openfi/openfi_1.0.7_DMP.sfu
This firmware update file includes a new kernel, and a new OS filesystem. The latter two are what Omnifi called "firmware".

Choose to save the file, and use the same procedure as above to install it as the new firmware: copy it to /transfer/simpleUpgrade.zip on the DMP1 disk.

If you haven't already, make empty folders named "openfi" and "openfi_static" on your DMP1 disk. These directories are where Openfi will store programs, configuration, disk indexing and other data.

Fetch this file: 

	http://www.realbig.com/openfi/openfi_app_0.9.400a25.zip
or the most recent openfi_app release available at 
	http://www.realbig.com/openfi/
and unzip it in the openfi_static directory.

Insert the disk, and boot the DMP1 while holding down HOME. It should do a firmware update for a few minutes, and then reboot itself.

When the update is finished, and the DMP1 reboots, don't press anything during the boot, and in a few seconds it will boot openfi.

Openfi should play a pair of chords as it boots and should say it's booting on the LCD, and then should start the openfi_app application.

It will immediately begin indexing your disk. Even if you've run openfi before, it will do this. The format of the index file has changed (to store more information), so it won't use your old index file.

After it is done indexing the disk, enter the Configuration menu and configure all your settings. There are a number of new settings available, so it's worth the effort to look through all of them. Exit the Configuration menu, and it will save your settings. Now you're set to go.
