For FSF CC9U/UNC90

Last Updated: 12/17/07 Fix Count: 1

 
Title
UBoot 1.1.3 FS.1a update
 
Case: internal
 
Date Fixed: 09/06
 
Description

Customers buying single modules (or big batches) which are not part of a kit, NEED TO UPDATE to the U-Boot version their development was based on!!!
 
DIGI does not give any guarantee on the firmware which is delivered on single or batch modules!
These modules are intended to be programmed with custom firmware (bootloader+OS), so we are only programming them with something to check that the hardware is working.
 
For example, the CC9U/UNC90 FS-0373 module comes with: U-Boot 1.1.4 (Dec  7 2006 - 13:43:25)  FS.3-rc
This is an unreleased version that customers should not use for production.
 
Customers must either use the U-Boot version they used during their development, or they must update to a newer one like Uboot 1.1.3 FS.1a. In the latter case, customers will need to verify/test their OS again against the newer U-Boot version.
 
U-Boot 1.1.3 FS.1a was officially released (Sept. 2006), and is recommended for the CC9U/UNC90.
