• USB Drive: Use a USB stick (max 8GB is safest).

• Format: Format it to FAT32.

• Firmware: Download your preferred image (OpenATV, OpenPLi, etc.).

2. Folder Structure

2. You will find a folder named xp1000.

3. Copy the entire xp1000 folder to the root of your USB stick.

2. Insert USB: Plug the USB stick into the rear or front USB port.

3. Power On: Turn the back switch to ON.

   • On some versions, you may need to press the Power button on the front panel instead.
