Reimaging UPboard-based machines

Follow

The late-2019 models of the Sintra, Sintra Forte, and Gaia are powered by the Aaeon UPboard. The new Tejo model also features this computer.

Use this article to reimage the UPboard with the latest factory image for your cryptomat.

 

What you'll need

  • Install script (contact support to obtain it)
  • USB keyboard
  • USB flash drive (any size)
  • Laptop (macOS, Windows, or Linux)

Download the installer image

For Tejo, Sintra, Sintra Forte and Gaia: Ubilinux installer image

⚠️ ‏‏‎ ‎NOTE: Do not unpack, unarchive, or mount the file on your computer after downloading.

 

Flash to a USB using Etcher 

Disconnect all external drives and devices connected to your computer, except for the destination USB drive.

Download and install BalenaEtcher (available for Linux, Mac, and Windows): https://etcher.io/

In Etcher, select the image file downloaded earlier, then select the destination USB drive, and click flash.

After burning, connect a USB keyboard and the flashed USB drive to the UPboard's ports.

 

Installing Ubilinux 

Press F7 to enter the BIOS menu upon booting, then select the USB drive to boot from.

Choose to install Ubilinux from the USB to the onboard drive.

Once finished, remove the USB drive and reboot.

 

Reimaging the UPboard

  1. Copy the machine-install-script.sh file to a USB flash drive. And bring the drive and USB keyboard to the machine.
     
  2. At the machine, open the door and plug both the USB drive and a keyboard into the available ports in the UPboard. Ensure any USB cables you need to unplug are ultimately reconnected to the same ports. (This is because cameras are mounted by the system based on the specific port they're plugged into.)

  3. Press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open a terminal.

  4. Within Ubilinux, as the regular non-root user, you'll copy the machine-install-script.sh script to the home directory (~/) on the machine (contact support to obtain the script.)
      • On the command below, replace the flashdrivename with your drive's name seen in the file manager window.
      • Spacing, quotes, and slashes must be exact.
      • Check the command is correct and with your flahdrivename on it.
        Running an incorrectly formatted command as root may have unintended consequences.
      • Then, run the edited command: 
        cp '/media/ubilinux/flashdrivename/machine-install-script.sh' ~/
  5. Next, within the UPboard's Ubilinux installation, run the following to install according to your machine's model (sudo isn't needed):

    bash ~/machine-install-script.sh sintra v8.0.0
    bash ~/machine-install-script.sh gaia v8.0.0
    bash ~/machine-install-script.sh tejo v8.0.0

Latest version

The above may not flash the latest software version. The latest available version is shown on our GitHub Releases page:  https://github.com/lamassu/lamassu-machine/releases/

To update your machine to the latest version, please contact support.

 

Updating the server

If this image flash represents an upgrade to your version release (for example, from Electril Enlil v7.5 to Forsaken Fiat v8.0), you will also need to update your server to the same version. Check your server version here.

Head to our article on upgrading to the latest release, and follow the instructions for updating the server.

Afterward, test transactions at the machine to ensure all perform as expected.
