- **For SD card installation only**: The **update.scp** text file contains only the name of the ROM file, **newrplfw.bin**. Note that the text file must be a plain text file, so it cannot have embedded codes that frequently accompanies documents created with, for example, Microsoft Word. The text file can be created on a Mac using //TextEdit//, Windows using //Notepad//, or on Linux using //vi// (or any text editor of choice). Put both the **update.scp** and **newrplfw.bin** files in the root filesystem of the SD card. Insert the SD card into the calculator. | - **For SD card installation only**: The **update.scp** text file contains only the name of the ROM file, **newrplfw.bin**.
