This update is a little different. It rebooted my WDTV four times, not the usual three.Usual:
reboot 1 then download begins.
Reboot 2 then firmware installs
Reboot 3 is up and running.This time, there is a second firmware install and reboot after reboot 2 above.
that’s interesting and makes me wonder what they are really doing, there’s always a ton of stuff not in the release notes
maybe they are doing a bootloader update or something else substantial, possibly required for DTS-MA hardware key, etc
can’t be a simple kernel & firmware update
those have always been done together with the normal 3 reboots
just a thought
- my update only did 3 reboots, not 4
but anyways, I’ve never paid much attention to official update files
but since it’s mentioned
it does show 1/2 and then 2/2
I’m pretty sure 1/2 if flashing the .bin file
and 2/2 is flashing the .bi2 file
this is the same procedure b-rad used on prior devices, when there was no more room on the main memory block for firmware enhancements
the firmware gets split into 2 files and written to 2 different blocks
anyways, just a theory, but I’m pretty sure WD is doing the same thing
