NeTV release 12 notes
From Chumby Wiki
Contents
System
- Fixed TKIP wifi-config bug & WEP hex key
- Deal properly with special characters in network_config
- Added UI to manually configure WiFi network
- Added ca-certificates for HTTPS support
- Add watchdog - If the system freezes it will get rebooted now
- Bootloader - You must hold down the button in order to be able to enter the U-boot console
- CPU - Work around some CPU L2 cache coherence bugs that caused incompatibility with JIT self-modifying code
- Browser -- wrapped restart script around browser, so inadvertent crashes due to L2 cache bugs lead to restart of UI instead of hang
- Recover mode -- there is a non-functional recovery mode in the image. Pressing and holding the setup button will reboot into it. Don't use it yet, will be updated to functionality soon.
