+= Setting Up a New RoboRIO
+These instructions assume that the computer used to interface with the roboRIO has all the software installed from [wiki:DriverStationSetup Setting Up a Computer to Use as a Drive Station] and [wiki:FRCSoftwareSetup Setting Up a Computer for FRC Java Programming].
+
+All the Drive Station (DS) to roboRIO connections are USB connections.
+
+These instructions must be repeated for each new roboRIO. Full, detailed instructions with pictures can be found at [http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/4485/m/13503/l/273817-updating-your-roborio-firmware screen steps live] for FRC.
+
+== 1. Update the Firmware
+1. Connect to the powered-on roboRIO.
+2. Open a web browser and enter the following into the URL address bar:
+{{{
+172.22.11.2
+}}}
+3. Click login in the upper right corner. Login with admin as the username. Leave the password field blank. (Do not attempt to set a password; this will make java programs fail.)
+4.  On the main screen, click {{{Update Firmware}}} for the roboRIO near the bottom right.
+5. Navigate to the following address where the roboRIO firmware is located:
+{{{
+Program Files(x86)\National Instruments\Shared\Firmware\cRIO\76F2\
+}}}
+6. Select the latest firmware version to flash. Click {{{Begin Update}}}.
+
+== 2. Image the RoboRIO
+Unlike previous years, the roboRIO only needs to be re-imaged once at the beginning.
+1. Find and launch the roboRIO Imaging Tool, which is found at the following address on the drive station hard drive:
+{{{
+C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\project\roboRIO Tool
+}}}
+2. When the tool has finished scanning, enter in the team number (2537), select the latest version to image, and check the box {{{Format Target}}}. ''Do not change the startup settings; they should allow both Console Out and the RT Startup App.''
+3. Click {{{Reformat}}}.
+
+== 3. Install Java 8 on the RoboRIO
+1. Run the Java Installer application found at the following generic address:
+{{{
+<home-directory>/wpilib/tools/java-installer.jar
+}}}
+  The home directory is the current user's base directory. For Windows systems the home directory is
+{{{
+C:\Users\<user-name>
+}}}
+2. Click {{{Next}}} to proceed to download Java 8 for Linux Embedded Systems.
+3. Follow the on-screen instructions to download the correct version of Java for the roboRIO.
+4. To login, either use the provided credentials below or create a free account:
+Username:
+{{{
+<insert UN here>
+}}}
+Password:
+{{{
+<insert PW here>
+}}}
+5. After it downloads, click {{{Next}}} and enter the team number into the field (2537). Then, click {{{Connect}}}.
+6. After the installation is complete, click finish to close the application.
