Here's a first pass focusing on Q2E24 nand blasting between 2 XOs (one
B4 and one XO-1). These tests only used the new nb-clone OFW command
of an 8.2.1-760 image. I'll try testing the nb-update and nb-secure
later (hopefully once I get a 3rd XO unlocked for unsigned firmware
testing).
Indeed it is excellent stuff ... I've not flawed it here in several
tests. Well done Mitch.
