Sure. You won't have seen an Open Firmware upgrade for two possible reasons: 1. automatic upgrades were turned off, even though the function is normally turned on, reason being preservation of the XO-4 A2 prototypes, 2. Q7B01 may have had a problem with automatic upgrade that has since been fi

Not exactly wrong, but incomplete. olpc-update will potentially change /bootpart/boot/bootfw*.zip and as a consequence Open Firmware or olpc.fth may reflash to a later version of Open Firmware. I think you might change your wording on the Wiki page. There's also more than one firmware. There's

So am I right in saying that olpc-update does not update OFW or is this the result of some temporary disabling? I edited http://wiki.laptop.org/go/13.1.0#Online_upgrade with a note that may not be correct. > As I understand it, the auto-firmware reflash process was temporarily > disabled to av

The update is done by olpc.fth if the XO is not secured, and we just re-enabled the ability to do this on XO-4 in os12.A battery/power icon will appear if the XO is running without external power and the firmware cannot be safely updated. As I understand it, the auto-firmware reflash process w

No, the full reflash with fs-update should be no different. If the firmware is not automatically updating on boot, that's possibly a problem with Q7B01, if not, it should be investigated further if you see it again after update to Q7B07. It was the 444 that reminded me you have a firmware version

John I think the problem is that olpc-update does not update the firmware, all updates have been with 2 sources of power, so the lesson is to occasionally do the full reflash (which uses a lot of bandwidth) or manually update the OFW Tony > More importantly, occasionally boot with two sources o
