    Default Confused Over Firmware

    I am confused over what is the latest non beta version to use...I have bootcode 18.

    Is the firmware on the product main page the same as posted in the forums? the file names are difference. I just want the latest non-beta firmware for boot code 18

    thanks!!!

    This is the newest stable (non-beta) firmware for bootcode 18 and up.

    There is non-betas, PM renames those files to non-betas once they start shipping them with the units.

    So if you were wondering if the non-betas are betas that has been through proper testing and bug fixing your answer is no.

    Take the latest that is released because those releases are never revised.

    So the latest official is P05-Rev3

    Last couple of links (choose the one matching your bootcode) in the official firmware thread here.

    THERE IS NO BETA FIRMWARE, there has never been, there will never be one, THERE IS A YET-TO-BE-SHIPPED FIRMWARE, that's it, once shipped they rename the file, that is all about it

    Default Decoding the illusive firmware

    Purchased a unit today and this is what the device information page reads:

    System Revision: P020P05
    Bootup: 23
    Bootcode: 0000.0202.0023.

    None of the listed firmwares on the support page for the PBO don't appear to reference what I have above. Why is it such a backwards task to decode what you have/need?

    Do I have the latest? If not, how do I identify what I need?

    gknight, you have firmware P05 and bootcode 23.
    You can see all the official firmwares in http://www.patriotmem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2131
    P53 is the most recent one.

    Didn't I answer your question 15 minutes after you posted it here ?
    Any specific reason you would expect a different answer by creating a whole new thread for the very same question ?!?

    Mods: Please merge with the thread here.
    Thanks.
