Talk:Updating the firmware

Revision as of 09:58, 3 April 2010

a great point from Bijiont @ t.m.o: speaking of wiki, I am surprised the flashing instructions for each OS aren't a little more clear.

For example I don't see the "u" key mentioned on any of the OS instructions.

I know what some are saying "Then update it. . . it's a wiki anyone can do it". I would but I don't have a N900 nor first hand experience flashing only what I have read here at Maemo.org

Something which may be helpful would be to break down per device how to flash. I know this may sound "low tech" but maybe even include images for people who don't have a tech background.

I know I know, "Are you some kind of moron"? No I actually do a ton of programming so this isn't a request or suggestion from a low tech person but someone who almost spends more time commenting code than the actual code itself.

Code is only as good as the comments that tell you what a nest does.

Flashing order

Marcell edited page by adding: "(Warning for eMMC flashing order added. Will be very important for PR1.2 onwards)"

I´m just bit confused because if you read emmc section you notice that in the end is says: "Having flashed the eMMC, you should now flash the firmware of your device. " And it doesn't make sense after first saying that you should first flash rootfs.

Notes by henkka

Couple of notes after flashing vanilla + emmc. Maybe these should be mentioned in wiki.

- After flashing vanilla system reboots and asks pin code (not mentioned in wiki) --> Is emmc flashing mandatory or just recommended after flashing vanilla?

- I couldn't flash emmc with given guide. Have to go with u-key and connect usb cable as in vanilla guide.
