Hi

I think there is some confusion here between the almanacs / ephemeris and the 
firmware. The Oncore saves the most recent GPS information (almanac and 
ephemeris) 
in RAM. If that’s battery backed up, it re-loads it at boot. The firmware is in 
flash memory. 
Re-programming the flash is (at best) a “return to vendor” process. Given how 
long the 
parts have been out. There is no guarantee that any given part will have enough 
silicon to
handle this or that rev of the firmware.
