nice! I really appreciate your hard work and I think you are doing a very fine job with this!!
I just kinda dislike this CVS interface... cvs is nice, but this sf-version is strange. at first those tags did not do what i wanted them to do. now they do as i want but it seems that it also updates slowly, as there is neither a new version of the changelog nor a new woid.hex.
And the cvs interface i have on my pc (just the one integrated in my java IDE) does not show any of your files at all 'cause i have not found the "tag" option there at all...

yeah, GarBage has done so much on the progress of the open source firmware. the only thing that ive been able to change in the firmware is the version number... im so glad that he is making good progress on the firmware and is fixing many bugs and doing requests from bugzilla.

For sure.

Garbage thank you for all your hardwork. Knocking out bugzilla entries is a sweet thing. Your gifts to the community are appreciated.

Try re-downloading woid.hex. And check the filesize, should be about 1.7meg. Or get the woid.hex.bz2 (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/neuros-firmware/neuros-firmware/source/DEBUGFLASHER/Debug/Attic/woid.hex.bz2?rev=1.1.2.2&only;_with_tag=garbage&view;=log)
That way when you unzip the bz2 file it will definitely be the full file (winzip should do it).

I have had some problems with the download finishing early, redownloading usually fixes it.

Maybe you want to try the pre-release version i currently use myself.
It is in Spanish (well, most of it is actually joke after joke).
This release also features:
- Bugzilla #213 (First 15 seconds not presettable)
You can preset any point if the track is paused.
If not, the preset will be applied to the start of the track.
- Press rewind on the first 5 seconds of a song to go to the previous one (if not paused).
- Tri-state MyFi. On, Off, and Auto-detect choices.

-- Spanish fiendly translation follows:
Quizá quieras probar la versión de pruebas que estoy usando ahora mismo.
Está en español (en una traducción algo divertida).
Esta versión incluye, además:
- Bugzilla #213 (Los primeros 15 segundos no son preseteados)
Puedes presetear cualquier punto de un tema si está pausado.
Si no, se aplicará al inicio del mismo.
- Pulsar rebobinar durante los primeros cinco segundos te lleva al tema anterior (siempre que el actual no esté en pausa).
- Tres estados para MyFi. Las opciones son Si, No y Auto.

Here is the link.
And here is the MD5SUM.
It should read: 54ff01052431c39dd63b7ee3806432dd
It will be ephimerous, though. So hurry on.

Hi everyone,
Just to be clear, I am not a moron... Thanks got that out of the way... I just got my Neuros from the deal at woot.com and I can say it is a nice little machine. I was directed here to look for new firmware that makes it run better and all. I have spent 2 days now reading on Garbage's branch of Sourceforge, and I have but one simple question... HOW do I actually upgrade to the open source firmware? I am not looking to develop my own and I have downloaded the woid.hex files... but I have no clue how to make my Neuros actually take them. I understand that I am behind the times when it comes to Linux and I am trying to learn, but for now... is there anyone out there that can tell me simply, how to get this to work?

well, I haven't used a USB 1.1 unit in a while, but my recollection is that it works the same. Turn on while holding the down position. The device should go into a special manual firmware upload mode. Then just copy the woid.hex file to the firmware subdirectory that you see on the device and then when it's done copying, just unplug the USB cable and it should detect the new firmware and prompt you to upgrade.

Yep, the bootloader works normally on the USB 1.1 units, with no extra steps nessesary.

Thank you so much, you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to find that information... I would have figured it would be the first question on the FAQ...
Thanks again.

Has anyone else noticed recording issues on GarBage's latest firmware? (2.26.1.6) I have 2 major problems:

1) Stopping a recording freezes on "Finishing Recording" and then I have to Up/Play the Neuros off. Recordings are not always added to the database, but are usually recorded to disk as normal. Even if added to the database, they are not always playable until downloaded to my computer.

2) After freezing and restarting, the device won't synch until I reload the firmware.

I pretty much loaded GarBage's from the start, but I can tell you that, yes, it does seem as though it is locked up, but if you wait a bit it will usually go eventually.

Is the little dot in the righthand corner blinking?

I actually modded the text in my firmware to say 'Saving...' on that screen so that I realize what it's doing.

Was this behavior not present in the official firmware?

Also, the sync thing...have you booted it up after doing the force-off key combo and then turned it back off (a clean shutdown), and finally back on? I think that this has worked for me if it stops talking to the computer. Otherwise you may want to try formatting the NAND.

I have noticed similiar behavior on the end of a recording, and the circle does continue to blink, but it goes on for minutes and minutes. I finally gave up after probably 15 minutes.

For #2, make sure you have formatted your NAND, that seems to fix it most of the time.

Koron & JoeBorn:

With 2.25 it would "finish recording" and eventually return to the Recordings menu, sometimes taking its sweet time. With GarBage's the circle blinks, then eventually stops and freezes. All buttons are frozen, backlight does not respond. Never finishes.

The first time it happened I freaked out because I couldn't get it to synch even after I did things exactly as you descibe, including NAND reformat. And I couldn't upload firmware because the computer wouldn't see the drive. (found out that with brain removed, computer reads drive normally) Then realised that last firmware was still saved on HD, so reloaded it and presto, synching available.
