It is all carefully described in the Installation section of the link
above.  Please read that, and if you have any further questions,
please ask.  Thanks.  ;-)

Just be sure you have your XO connected to a power source. The firmware is
not installed if you are not connected or you don't have battery.

firmware is bundled with releases, and when it is, it will be
installed automatically when you install the release.  that's fine for
many, many people.  in this case, it will always upgrade, and never
downgrade.  automatic installation will never take you "backwards".

you can also install firmware manually:  put the .rom file on a
USB stick, and type "flash u:\file.rom" at the 'ok' prompt.  you
might do this to help with testing, or because you know that the
firmware fixes a known problem you're experiencing.  when installing
manually, you can do a downgrade.

Hello,

I'm new on this list and I have a question related with the new firmware.

Should I do something on my XO 1.75 to get this firmware installed?
This is because I thought the firmware is updated after a "fs-update",
but I'm not completely sure. I have installed os14 on my XO 1.75

Thanks and "sorry" for this noob question :)
