First read http://staros.tog.net/wiki/Acquiring_Firmware , http://staros.tog.net/wiki/V3_Upgrade_Procedure and http://staros.tog.net/wiki/Starutil.


Flashing new CF:

Download this program http://m0n0.ch/wall/downloads/physdiskwrite-0.5.1.zip. Unzip it in directory from which you will be flashing StarV3. Then Go to the http://files.star-os.com , register, log in.

Click on the "Firmware". Then click on the desired version of firmware.

1.3.13(.1) is the official stable version at the time of this writing, but I wholeheartedly recommend 1.3.23b, since it shows great stability and almost no issues.

Click on the desired version, then click on the desired option, FCC or the world version (with "##" channel list), click on the "vnc" directory, and then on the desired platform. If you tell us what you will use, we will direct you to proper directory.

Finally, choose *.cf file for your purpose and save it in the same folder with phisdiskwriteкурзиван текст program. When you download one file you can not browse or download another.

Flashing the CF card is done by this command:

physdiskwrite vncOs-1.3.23b.v.world-2880.X86-PC.cf (where "vnc-..." filename will reflect your choice).

NOW BE EXTRA CAREFUL!!!! Wrong number COULD WIPE YOUR HARD DISK!!! IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED TO FLASH CF AND DOMS ON PC WITHOUT ANY IMPORTANT DATA!!!

Take a careful look at the options you were given. Phisdiskwrite will list all storage devices yo have (HDD, CF, DOM, USB..) and number them from 0 to X (number of devices - 1). First (0) will be your primary HDD, second (1) will be second HDD if you have it.... and most likely your CF will be the last one. Type in the selected number end pres enter. Procedure should be done in ~10 sec. Disconnect CF and place it in your StarV3 unit then boot it.

For upgrade purposes download starutil http://files.star-os.com/index.php?dir=Utilities/&file=starutil-win-1.16.zip utility. It is in "Utilities" directory (or "folder" for fancy users). Unzip it in directory from which you will be upgrading StarV3.
