Most devices run a portion of hidden software which is independent from the operating system (e.g. Microsoft Windows) - this is often referred to as BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) and it manages all hardware present in a computer, from the screen to the battery and more!
To ensure that the Infinity:One performs at its best, the BIOS should be updated to the newest version available (N1.14) and this tutorial explains how to do it - to get started, download the file available here:
- Format the USB drive using FAT32 as filesystem type
- Extract (not copy) the archive downloaded onto the USB (use WinRAR or 7Zip if extracting fails from Windows)
- Eject the USB drive from your workstation (i.e. do not unplug the drive before ejecting)
- Boot the Infinity:One with the USB drive plugged in making sure that the battery has been charged first
- Allow for the system to boot up from the USB and press any key to start the update when requested
- DO NOT turn the system off but rather wait for the device to shut down automatically
- Unplug the USB drive and power on the Infinity:One
Updating the BIOS provides bug fixes and improvements that are normally not addressed directly via Windows Update, in particular the current version:
• Resolves a problem with battery charging to avoid unnecessary system protection due to overcharge
• Resolves a problem with power management to ensure all peripherals are powered down appropriately when charging
For reference, the content of the USB drive just prepared should look like this:
