Bugs in SW 1.32a ?!

55 replies

Yes, have that problem to: battery doesn't last very long............

Tell me where to find the firmware in the Beo5 file, and I will extract it. I couldn't find it in the firmware file - it seems to go directly onto the Beo5 when it is attached to the dealer site.

I thought that when you are connected it downloads the firmware to the folder named "Firmware" inside the installation folder?

Here's a screenshot from my Firmware folder... (Config tool v1.30)

If the firmware is not downloaded to the firmware directory, than we have a problem to get it.

If so, the dealer cannot do updates offline (at the customers site with his laptop).

Please everybody with new firmware releases post some pictures of your firmware folder in the installation folder.
This is my folder. I updated the firmware and the configuration on July 1th, connected to the B&O server.

So it looks like the firmware files in the firmware folder is update due to the different dates..

 

Would anybody with firmware 1.34a please try and mail me the files?

Thanks

EDIT:

The "Beo5CT.exe.config" is also needed.

Here is my a snip of my .config file:

  <appSettings>
    <add key="WebConnected" value="y" />
    <add key="LanguageDealer" value="English" />
    <add key="CTVersion" value="1.30" />
    <add key="SetupMenuLangSyncron" value="true" />
    <add key="AppRestarterPath" value="AppStarter" />
    <add key="Beo5Usb.inf" value="1.1.12.0" />
    <add key="Beo5Usb.sys" value="1.1.12.0" />
    <add key="Beo5RevE.bin" value="1.30a" />
    <add key="Beo5RevF.bin" value="1.30a" />
    <add key="Beo5RevD.bin" value="1.30a" />
  </appSettings>

So as you can see the firmware is also defined in this XML document.

We will have to do some more testing to see if other files are needed.

I'm still a bit puzzled: When hooking up a Beo5 to the dealer network, the firmware of the Beo5 is upgraded to 1.34 and also there's a change of the configtool (at least 3 bin-files of the Firmware-directory change). So far, so good.

But how can we upgrade our Beo5 by only just changing our configtool? A changed configtool can't "send" a new firmware to the Beo5, or can it?!

Yes doc, it can.

I think that when the serialisation proces is started the program wil compare the firmware level in the BEO5 with the level described in de Beo5CT.exe.config. If it is not the same then the firmware files from the PC are transferred to the BEO5.

This is my guess how it works.

Sounds good Piet, hope it works!

Let us know if you managed to get it working.
