Well, you'll need to build from CVS. There's instructions on how to do that in CVS. You'll need to build and install libconcord first and then build and install concordance. It should be straight forward from the INSTALL files, but let us know if you have any problems. From there, you backup your firmware with: concordance -f/tmp/myfirwmarebackup *IF* we support live mode for your remote, you can write firmware to the remote with: concordance -F/tmp/myfirmwarebackup Otherwise, you have to boot into safemode. To do this, unplug the remote from USB, remove the battery, hold the off button. Keep holding the off button while you re-insert the battery, and continue to hold it until it boots into safemode. Once it's in safemode, reconnect USB. The screen on some models will blink in safemode to let you know you're connected. Then you can do a direct-to-firmware write with: concordance -F/tmp/myfirmwarebackup --direct > Also can I somehow make a backup of the firmware on the remote, so > that I can test the code later?
