ARM600 User Manual
Note: The default system software configuration has passed the ABB quality assurance process. Installing any third-party software may cause the system to malfunction.

The ARM600 system can be updated via shell with administrator privileges. Before updating the system, take a backup using the backup functionality described in Backup and Auto backup.

It is highly recommended to download the generated backup file to another computer as a precaution.

  1. Download the latest updates for the ARM600 system from the download server.
    1. In a Web browser, go to https://arcticupdate.abb.com/m2mgw.
    2. Click the required software version directory.
    3. Select file m2mgw-repository-(version-number)-x86_64.tar.gz.
    4. Save the file on your computer.
  2. Install the latest updates for the ARM600 system.
    1. Use an SSH-capable file browser (for instance, free WinSCP).
    2. Log in to ARM600 using the WinSCP client to port 10022 as a user of the wheel group.

      Users of the wheel group have administrator privileges.

    3. Transfer the downloaded system update file from your computer to ARM600 by dragging the file to the right-side window of WinSCP. The system update file is transferred to the home directory of the logged in user.
    4. Log in to the ARM600 system with an SSH terminal client, such as PuTTY.
    5. Type the following command and press ENTER.

      # sudo /opt/viola/bin/system-update.sh [system update file name]

      Note: Replace [system update file name] with the name of the system update file, without the brackets.

      The system checks the integrity of the package and unpacks it before running the update procedure. After the update, the system notifies if a reboot is necessary.
