Installation of a pre-configured virtual machine for TFTP flashing

When setting up and configuring a TFTP server on your PC on your own is not the way you want to go, then we recommend that you use a ready-made virtual machine that needs no configuration on your side. This approach should work for all major operating systems (Mac OS, Windows, Linux).

  1. Download free software VirtualBox (download page). VirtualBox is available for Mac OS, Windows and Linux.
  2. Install downloaded VirtualBox package on your System.
  3. Download Meteobridge-TFTP-Server (1.1 GB).
  4. Double-click onto the downloaded Meteobridge server image. Virtual box will start and will show you a window that allows to import that image as an appliance. Simply press "Import" button and an import progress bar will pop up. Import should take less than a minute.
  5. Meteobridge_TFTP-Server will now show up as an available virtual machine in the list on the left. Select it and press the green "Start" button.
  6. Virtual machine will start and lots of log messages will scroll through a black terminal window. Just ignore and wait until screen holds and shows flashing dialog.
