Each version of the server has a related SBC version (or set of versions). When you connect to a server it will make sure the SBC is at the correct version and if not, trigger an update automatically. That's all you should ever have to do as a normal user. But obviously, if you move between server versions, you may get different versions of the firmware.
If you're running prod 7.0 you'll see basically no updates. If you're running one of the dev versions (7.0.1 or 7.1) you'll get pretty frequent updates (often daily) even if you don't update the server itself, because it automatically downloads and pushes SBC updates from slimdevices. If you want to run a specific version of the firmware you'll need to install the appropriate version of the server. The SD card method is used when the network update is broken for some reason, you copy the firmware image onto an SD card and stick it in the SBC, then on the update menu there's an option to flash from that version. Useful when a firmware bug breaks the network stack :) -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46817 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
