Procedure – update operating system with Booting
When updating the operating system with "Booting", the configuration computer
communicates with the HMI device via the boot loader.
Connect the HMI device to the configuration computer.
Notice
An operating system update with "Booting" is only possible via the serial connection.
After starting the operating system update, the HMI device must be rebooted so that the HMI
device establishes contact via the serial interface.
Proceed as follows in order to adapt the operating system on the HMI device to the
configuration software version used:
1. Switch off the power supply to the HMI device.
2. In WinCC flexible on the configuration computer, select the menu options "Project >
Transfer > Transfer Settings" or select the HMI device available on the "General" tab in
ProSave.
3. Select the connection.
4. Enter the connection parameters.
5. In WinCC flexible, select the menu options "Project > Transfer > Update Operating
System" or select the "OS Update" tab in ProSave.
6. Activate the "Booting" checkbox if it is deactivated.
7. In "Image path", select the directory which contains the image file belonging to the HMI
device (file extension *.img).
8. Select the "Open" button.
When the image file has been opened successfully, various version information
appears in a window.
9. Start the operating system update by using the "Update OS" button.
10. Reconnect the power supply to the HMI device.
This starts the update. The time this process takes differs depending on the data
channel selected. A status display will monitor the transfer's progress.
Result

There is no longer a project on the HMI device.
