Olympus E-PL1: Firmware upgrade

My Olympus E-PL1 had the stock firmware. I wanted to upgrade it, but unfortunately there is no official way to upgrade the firmware by copying a binary image to an SD card (unlike Pentax, Ricoh, Samsung, etc.). 

One site provides instructions and image links for an unofficial upgrade. But not for the E-PL1 camera (only for E-PL1s).

So I bought a cheap USB cable (CB-USB6/CB-USB5 replacement, not original) for $2.




Surprisingly, it works.

For the firmware upgrade, I used OM Workspace (on Windows 10) as recommended.




It successfully upgraded the E-PL1 body firmware from version 1.0 to version 1.3.





For the 14-42/3.5-5.6 lens, however, there is no upgrade.
