# OpenELEC - Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center
|
||
|
||
OpenELEC runs [Kodi](http://kodi.tv), an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media
|
||
player and entertainment hub for digital media. For more info see http://kodi.tv .
|
||
The base system has been designed and built from the ground up to be as
|
||
efficient as possible – consuming only tiny disk and memory footprints and
|
||
providing cutting edge hardware support to deliver a set-top box experience.
|
||

**Copyright**
|
||
|
||
* Since OpenELEC includes code from many up stream projects it includes many
|
||
copyright owners. OpenELEC makes NO claim of copyright on any upstream code.

|

overhead of preserving contact with every submitter ever e.g. move to GPLv3.

|

* SSH login details are user: “root” password: “openelec”.
|
||
SSH allows command line access to your openelec.tv machine for configuration
|
||
and file transfer. Linux/Mac clients can natively use SSH, while Windows
|
||
users might want to try PuTTY for their terminal access.
|
||
* $HOME is mounted on /storage (the second ext4 partition on the drive).
|
||
All data transfered to the machine will go here, the rest of the system is
|
||
read-only with the exception of /var (containing runtime configuration data).
|
||
* Manual update/downgrade procedure is as follows:
|
||
Extract the snapshot and navigate to the 'target' directory.
|
||
Copy KERNEL and SYSTEM along with KERNEL.md5 and SYSTEM.md5 to the 'Update' network share (or /storage/.update) on
|
||
your openelec machine. Your system will automatically upgrade during the
|
||
next reboot.
|
||
* Automatic mounting of filesystems is supported. Devices such as USB Flash
|
||
sticks can be plugged into a running machine and will be mounted to /media,
|
||
showing up in Kodi’s GUI.
|
||
* Comments and questions are more than welcome, help is even better and patches
|
||
are absolutely perfect!!
|
||
|
||
