Firmware upgrade and package deployment

Consider the following before you upgrade the ThinOS firmware and deploy the ThinOS packages:

  • On Wyse 5070 Extended thin client, the AMD firmware is upgraded to a newer version. If you want to downgrade ThinOS from 8.6 to 8.5.1, you must shut down and boot the thin client again. If you do not shut down and reboot, a black screen is displayed on the monitor that is connected to the AMD GPU port. Also, the AMD DP port sequence is updated.
  • On Wyse 5070 thin clients, the Bluetooth firmware is upgraded to a newer version from ThinOS 8.5_108. If you want to update the thin client with the Bluetooth module from ThinOS version 8.5_107 to 8.5_108 or later, Dell recommends that you disconnect the power cable and connect the power cable again before you reboot.
  • In ThinOS 8.6, the installed RTME, Horizon, and JVDI packages are saved to the hidden partition. When you downgrade ThinOS firmware to previous versions, and upgrade the firmware to 8.6 again, the ThinOS device reinstalls the saved packages from the hidden partition. You can delete the package to clean the backup data from the device.
  • From ThinOS version 8.6, the Merlin images include both RTME and Horizon packages.
  • If you push Merlin images on Wyse 5010, 5040, and 7010 thin clients with 4 GB or higher flash size, the RTME and Horizon packages are formatted.
To upgrade the ThinOS firmware, use any of the following:
  • HTTPS Windows server
  • Dell Wyse Management Suite
NOTE: To avoid uncertain issues, ensure that when you upgrade your firmware, you do not skip versions. To downgrade the ThinOS firmware, ensure that you set the INI parameter Autoload=2, and follow the procedure using the HTTPS server.

Horizon.i386.pkg Upload the new package to central configuration, and configure the INI parameter to update this package.
JVDI.i386.pkg Upload the new package to central configuration, and configure the INI parameter to update this package.
NOTE:
  • When the packages fail to update, or cannot function after update with new version firmware, or if there is further failure, the workaround is to remove all packages and reinstall the packages upon reboot.
