As Ben says, they're the same thing. If you don't load the firmware within 5 seconds of the boot2 code starting up, the thing loads its own firmware from the internal flash. Yes, it's horrid. It doesn't even preserve the boot2 version, because we did some stupid hack to preserve that in the _driver_ rather than keeping it internal, so when we send the CMD_802_11_RESET command to kick the device back into boot2, we get 'device firmware changed' from the kernel and it appears as a completely new device... Ideally, we want to just kill the auto-mesh-repeater mode, where boot2 times out after 5 seconds and loads the firmware from the internal flash (which is obviously larger on these devices than on the XO). Can we achieve that just by updating to a 'normal' Boot2 version from the XO? (Yes, I should be sleeping. No, I have no idea what timezone I'm in). -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
