Merlin imaging

Merlin imaging is supported through WSI, WDM and USB Imaging Tool. For more information, please refer to Wyse Device Manager

Administration Guide or USB Firmware Tool Users Guide.

Merlin Imaging from le server without WDM

To create and use merlin.rsp and merlin.img les to perform merlin imaging on device from FileServer, complete the following tasks:

1 Extract and copy Merlin image rsp and contents on any FileServer location, for example, 1.0.3_5060_merlin.rsp and

bios.img, commandsXml.xml, part1Image1.img, part1Image2.img

2 Rename the RSP le which is available in Merlin Image folder, for example, from 1.0.3_5060_merlin.rsp to merlin.rsp.

3 Create tar le with merlin image contents, bios.img, commandsXml.xml, part1Image1.img, part1Image2.img, for

example,

merlin.tar.

4 Gzip the above tar le, for example, merlin.tar.gz

5 Rename the zip le to merlin.img.

6 Copy both merlin.rsp and merlin.img les in FTP path under $PLATFORM sub-directory. Merlin imaging is platform dependent

so put the image under the correct <PLATFORM> subfolder.

7 Provide this path as value for MerlinUpdate.URL parameter in INI le, and if needed provide credentials for FTP server using

MerlinUpdate.Username and MerlinUpdate.Password parameters and restart TC, for example, if device model is Wyse

5060 thin client then copy the image and rsp le under

ftp://<IP>/<directory>/5060/ folder but mention URL as ftp://<IP>/

<directory>/

. The Macro $PLATFORM is automatically appended.

NOTE

: Merlin imaging through FileServer works only when you provide URL using INI parameters; if you provide the same

values in Update Settings page, the imaging does not work.

After restart, Merlin image is downloaded through Delayed Update. A notication is displayed after Merlin image ready. The Merlin

imaging takes place after restart. Merlin image is not downloaded, if Delayed Update is disabled.

Notes and Limitations:

• If the image version on TC and Merlin image version on FTP server are the same, then imaging does not take place.

• Downgrading is always allowed for Merlin image. There is no force imaging for Merlin.

• Changes are not preserved after Merlin imaging.

• If both raw and Merlin images are available at specied URL, Merlin image upgrading has higher priority.
