 You can view the 512 Mb file from denon with 7zip, and extract / transfert files.
 Another way is to mount the 512Mb file in another folder, and to copy files from there. That's i will do.
 I put the 512Mb file in a folder named SC5 on my media card :
+EB-7AEF is the name of my SD, it will be another on your side.

+copy files :
+<code>
+# cp -a Engine/ /media/02EB-7AEF/overlay/overlayupper/
+# cp -a SoundSwitch/ /media/02EB-7AEF/overlay/overlayupper/
+# cp -a qt /media/02EB-7AEF/overlay/overlayupper/
+</code>
+Some extra/new libs are required :
+<code>
+# cp -a lib/libboost* /media/02EB-7AEF/overlay/overlayupper/lib/
+# cp -a lib/libicu* /media/02EB-7AEF/overlay/overlayupper/lib/
+</code>
+All this files are put in the lower-fs.img file.
+Then we will use the magical trick of the overlay to map what we have in overlayupper on /usr :
+to do that i do :
+<code>
+mount -t overlay -o
+rw,relatime,lowerdir=/usr,upperdir=/media/02EB-7AEF/overlay/overlayupper,workdir=/med
+ia/02EB-7AEF/overlay/overlaywork overlay /usr
+</code>
+And when you go to /usr , Taddaaaa! you have your content :
+<code>
+# cd /usr
+# ls
+Engine SoundSwitch bin etc lib lib32 libexec
+qt sbin share
+</code>
+Once done, before running Engine you have to EXPORT some var :
+<code>
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/qt/lib
+export AIR_SCREEN_ROTATION=-90
+</code>
+And to spoof product-code, you have to bind a file with new product code.
+to do this do a copy of the real file :
+<code>
+eg : copy "/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/inmusic,product-code" "/media/02EB-7AEF/inmusic,product-code"
+</code>
+Then edit the file :
+<code>
+vi "/media/02EB-7AEF/inmusic,product-code"
+</code>
+Change ADA2 or what you have by JP11 for the prime GO ( Shift + R on vi to replace )
+Dont remove the ending ^@
+Then mount the file like this :
+<code>
+mount -o bind "/media/02EB-7AEF/inmusic,product-code" "/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/inmusic,product-code"
+</code>
+And rename the file /usr/Engine/Content/KnownDevices.vfsb to anything else :
+<code>
+eg : mv /usr/Engine/Content/KnownDevices.vfsb /usr/Engine/Content/KnownDevices.bak
+</code>
+__**/!\ : before running prime , rename /usr/bin/dfu-util to dfu-utill.**__
+to do this :
+<code>
+mount remount / -o rw,remount
+mv /usr/bin/dfu-util /usr/bin/dfu-utill
+</code>
+Otherwise Prime may try to update STM32 firmware in dfu mode.
+Now you can run prime, however like this , there is no mapping done to use it.
+Some examples of assignments files are available in the folder :
+/usr/Engine/AssignmentFiles/PresetAssignmentFiles/
+And then to run Prime
+Issue the command ( in /usr/Engine)
+<code>
+# ./Engine
+</code>
+In the starting log you'lle see :
+<code>
+in the log we see the model and assignment files :
+QCommandLineParser: option not defined: "configuration"
+DenonDJ "PRIME GO 2.1.2 eaf7ec4c8" starting up
+QCommandLineParser: option not defined: "cleanupQSettings"

+qml: Sending Initilization Message Akai Pro AMX
+qml: Sending initialization message for PRIME GO ...
+qml: Initialization phase ended
+qml: Query absolute position controls
+</code>
+So the Next step to use prime is to create/configure qml files used by Prime to map buttons and led.
+On Akai force you can make 4 qml in relation with audio interface.
+I was not able to verify if public qml file are working because on my first try i had these 4 files.
+"Akai_Pro_Force_Public_Assignments.qml"
+"Akai_Pro_Force_Public_Device.qml"
+"Akai_Pro_Force_Private_Assignments.qml"
+"Akai_Pro_Force_Private_Device.qml"
+Now i'm only using private files and it's working well.
+<del>Public files are used to map inputs,
+Private files are used to map Led / Pad colors output</del>
