REQUEST | always include board & player info w/ FW
 

hi folks,

i posted this in the general area, but am not sure if this was the right place for it. :wink:

i am seeing lots of interesting posts on new firmware versions which promise desireable functionality (e.g. file browsing).

although terribly tempted to download and try, i am afraid to do so because i don't know what device the firmware came from.

i suggest posting the following additional info (in addition to version number) when posting firmware:

• which improvements the version brings (what it fixed)
• what it broke (i.e. a particular function is now gone)
• source (where it came from: your player, the internet, etc)
• if known, the board number, capacity, screen size and make of the player the firmware came from
• if not from your player, which player you successfully tried it on

thoughts?

doon

I agree with you on this... and if you are referring to the file i posted about music browsing capabilities... they came from the internet from people with Mp-693C-SL Main v1.3 (2005-12-14) boards, ATJ2085W chips... yet this info still wont help as the screen it self might be different... two players with same board id doesnt guarantee the firm will work... people dont seem to get this yet... its more components besides board...

PS: I agree with you we should post more info with firmware uploads will do from now on... GREAT JOB ON YOUR SKIN BTW...
