I am looking for early 4.9 testers. I don’t need any feedback yet until I make a new thread, apart from ‘it works’ or my device doesn’t boot.
There is a downside to this: your system may be rendered unbootable and you’d need to open the Vero and short two pins on the mainboard to recover it if this is the case.
If you don’t fancy this potential risk, then I’d suggest avoiding the test until you see a test thread on the forums. It shouldn’t happen, but there is a very small chance of this being an issue during the upgrade process.
I need both 4K and 4K + testers. If you’d like to give this a go, please let me know here and I’ll send you a PM shortly when things are ready.
sorry but i dont understand…
First you said the kernel is up @ the end of the summer.
Then by the end of november you said a few days…
And now @ start 2020 you make a beta test with brick warning ??
Sorry no disrespect but i think the statments for future Updates
should by cleaner. The Users has expectation…
I wasn’t happy with our approach for delivering 4.9. There were a few hacks to ensure that we didn’t need to update our bootloader over the air, which has always been a risky proposition.
But the risks from the route we were traversing seem to be more significant than the risks of updating the bootloader. So I’ll make some more changes, verify them with the team and then get them out to users here shortly.
