Load Previous Firmware consistency
Last modified: 2009-10-26 15:11:37 UTC
ALL SP based devices need to have a way to load a previous firmware, incase a bad firmware gets out into the wild, there has to be a single consistant way to get the previous good firmware back onto the device. Currently, there is no unified method. On Controller you hold the VOL UP button during boot On Baby you hold down REW during power cycle On FAB4 you have to use the IR VOL UP during power cycle Please make them ALL the same method
It's not possible to make them all the same, for example baby does not have a VOL UP button. This would require a bootloader change, and that's not going to happen on jive any time soon (if ever). I tried to make this consistent, but without the foresight of future hardware it's hard. This just need documenting some place.
Anoop / Dan: Please add this information to the WIKI as well as TS FAQ system.
this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.
Please close the bug once the FAQ is in place
Dan & Laron, Is there a FAQ in place for this? If not can we get one created?
Hey James, I was unaware of this, however I do see that I am cc'd on the bug. I will speak with Dan on Monday, and get see how he wants me to proceed. This FAQ should be simple. Thanks, LaRon
I'll add this to our list of FAQs for evaluation and creation. Closing this bug as WONTFIX.
