Actually, your logic is flawed... It would be correct id the images contained in the composite file were static, but they are not...
sip.ld v1.4.1 (approx. 7.7 meg) contains 5 images: IP300 , IP500, IP600, IP4000 and one unknown image (probably for the short lived IP100/IP400 customized model). sip.ld v1.5.2 (approx. 10.3 meg) contains 7 images: IP300, IP301, IP500, IP501, IP600, IP4000 and one unknown image. The IP300 and IP500 images for v1.5.2 are actually approximately 50K SMALLER than the corresponding image from v1.4.1. (Image sizes are approximately 1.2meg for each unit) The IP301 and IP501 images for v1.5.2 are approximaely 290K larger than the images for the IP300 and IP500. The fact that there are seperate images for the new IPX01 models may indicate that there are other subtle differences than just the size of the flash memory and internal memory. It also indicated that there is a significant amount of space left in the 2meg flash of the IP300/IP500 (even after accounting for the space required for the bootrom at approximately 380K) for future enhancements. Also, looking at the IP600... it has an image size of almost exactly 2 megs in both versions of the firmware... which means that the XML browser functions will likely never be available for the IP500. regards, Derek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kristian Kielhofner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 1:27 AM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP600 - Worth the extra $$ > dbruce wrote: > > The size of the sip.ld file is NOT an indication of the size of the firmware > > for a particular model. > > Yes, but it is an indication of the overall size of the firmware image, > regardless of the model, and that is what I was talking about. > > > The sip.ld file is a coposite file that encapsulates individual firmware for > > the different models.
