The purpose of this email is to explain the dependencies between XCSoar and the IOIO Board firmware versions. This email affects only XCSoar users who are connected to devices using an IOIO Board.
We recently discovered a bug in the IOIO Board's Firmware that prevents backwards compatibility of newer and older IOIO boards. Fortunately, there is a quick solution to the problem. However, IOIO users of XCSoar will need to download and run an app from the Android Market called "IOIO Manager" that will set the correct Firmware ID on their IOIO boards. 1) XCSoar 6.2.x works only with IOIO Boards running Firmware ID IOIO0100. So if XCSoar does not connect to your IOIO board today, the solution may be that you need to set the IOIO's Firmware ID to IOIO0100 using the IOIO Manager app. 2) XCSoar 6.3 (planned for release in December 2011 or early 2012) will work only with IOIO Boards running Firmware ID IOIO0300. So, if your IOIO Board works with XCSoar 6.2.x today, it will fail when you upgrade XCSoar to XCSoar 6.3 unless you set the IOIO's Firmware ID to IOIO0300 using the IOIO Manager app at the same time. I have created a post on the forum with more information about this issue for those who are interested or affected: http://xcsoar.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=52&start=20#p667 Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
