I thought it would be Marty as thats how the Vu's are done. Just the warnings in the thread earlier made me wonder if some voodoo was involved also

No need to sacrifice a goat of chicken But flashing a bootloader is always a potential major problem (like flashing a PC BIOS) get it wrong and you have an expensive doorstop

I'm interested to know what has changed to require a new boot loader. It usually means a fundamental function / feature has changed in the chipset.

It seems it can allow a flash of up to 200mb, most likely only needed for TeamReds bloated image the rootfs alone is near 145mb compared to VIX's 52mb (OpenMips is aprox 105mb)

Just had a quick read. The 'plan' seems to be to fix the bugs and go to a release version on Friday. There are STILL people expecting gigabit LAN and bluetooth keyboard support

Waiting? I suppose that's one word for it
Quad will be obsolete before its available
For me their word carries no weight at all (maybe GB should go into politics )
