Upgrading your software and firmware

Upgrade to the latest versions of the software included on the CD that was packaged with your frame (see Installing the software: WINDOWS OS only). Firmware is the software that runs on your frame. To check for the latest version, visit www.kodak.com/go/digitalframedownloads.

Manually upgrade firmware

Download the firmware to your computer, then upgrade your frame:

  1. On your computer, go to www.kodak.com/go/digitalframedownloads.

  2. Follow the screen directions to download the frame firmware to your computer.

  3. Copy the IMG file to the top level folder (root directory) of a memory card or USB flash drive, then insert into the frame. See Copying on your frame for copying files.

  4. Tap (Home), then (Settings).

  5. Highlight Firmware Upgrade, then tap OK to begin the upgrade.

    IMPORTANT: Do not turn off the frame or remove the memory card or USB flash drive during the upgrade!

    When the upgrade is complete, your frame automatically restarts. If it doesn't, press the power button on the frame to Off, then back to On.

Automatically upgrade firmware from the Internet

When the frame is connected to your wireless network, you can automatically upgrade the firmware from the Internet whenever a new version is available.

For the latest features and best experience with your frame, upgrade your firmware from the Internet whenever the new firmware upgrade message appears.
