    Strange
    Still I prefer a fresh install with a new kernel

    What I did was a fresh flash then tried to restore a previous backup, maybe an online update does it differently?

    714 isnt available to download from the openvix site yet
    so online update for now!

    i'll probably do a fresh install myself in a few days

    if you update your box with putty instead of the webgui you can see whats being done, the majority of updates come down as .ipks, a new kernel-image was written to the box aswell as other stuff installed and some stuff removed from the previous kernel.

    It is necessary to upgrade bootloader to the 07-05-2013 version to make the flash from zero, isn't it?
    I didn't ever upgraded the bootloader from the older version, i've always done online update of the vix image...

    Is the 714 version on the stable feeds right now?

    I have never upgraded the bootloader myself too. Oups

    Should we upgrade manually the bootloader? I understood that the new drivers get pushed by the VIX team automatically with the SW updates but what about the bootloader?
    Any recommendations to do so?
    Does the upgrade affect the install OpenVix image? (need to re install after?)

    Merci

    PS/ no release note on the official package so not sure of the benefits
    grab -o -p /tmp/grab.png #screen grab without the image of the channel you are watching
    grab -d -p /tmp/grab.png #screen grab with the image of the channel you are watching

    It's not needed to upgrade bootloader since you don't flash a new image to your box that require a newer one than the one you got on it.
    By example, if you will flash new teamred beta image you'll need the 07/05/2013 bootloader.

    By the way, if you need the bootloader you can find it in the gigablue openmips site:
    Code:
    http://image.openmips.com/2.0/index.php?open=loader
    But I will not update the bootloader since I need to flash a new fresh installation of an Image.
