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.
