Copy
To USB
There are two steps and both are independent from each other. For welcome image downloading to USB, there should be DownloadWelcomeScreen.mb82 file in USB ROOT.
Copy the updated welcome image to USB in directory “welcome_image” as “hotel_wel.png”
Copy NVRAM data (service list, preferences, etc.) to USB device. On Phonix platform, all nvram data is stored in 8x32KB Flash files named as “nvblock_ ... .bin”. When Copy to USB is called, those files are copied from TV to USB. Then they can be used for various purposes testing on another TV or testing/debugging on observatory etc. Note that USB should be plugged before this operation.
A new folder will be created in the USB with every operation of “Copy To USB”. Folder names will automatically increase like CLONE00001, CLONE00002, etc. (up to 99999)

from USB device data to NVRAM: Just the reverse operation done by copy to USB
call.
Previously copied nvram files (“nvblock_ ... .bin”) are copied into TV. If there is no flash file or some of them are available on USB, the available ones are copied. If no USB is connected, nothing happens.
