It should be one or the other or at least have a lot of detail. Also: The firmware upgrade docuements lead you to belive that using FirmwareUpgrade -f does not wipe out the MAC address. (I think it says that explictly.) I did not find this to be true, at least when upgrading from an older version of Firmware. FirmwareUpgrade -m _does_ fix it. (The board has a stciker with the mac address, so it is not lost.) 44118 1 chao.b.zhang 2014-06-20 02:13:13 +0000 For network boot, do you mean PXE boot? 44952 2 wmills 2014-08-04 17:41:50 +0000 Yes, the release notes refer to this as "Ethernet (PXE)", "PXE IPV4" and "PXE IPV6". What I mean is any boot that uses BOOTP or DHCP + TFTP to get Grub and kernel etc. Most x86 users refer to this as PXE even if none of the PXE specific protocols are being used. The PXE specific protocols are: 1) a BIOS specific set of runtime services that are not used in UEFI. 2) DHCP extensions that allows the boot server to be distint from the DHCP server [many common installations do not seperate the DHCP and Boot servers.] 3) DHCP extensions that better identify the end equipment to the DHCP or Boot server. I wrote this mostly as input so the MinnowMax release notes could be better. 44956 3 chao.b.zhang 2014-08-05 00:49:21 +0000 Please update Minnow firmware to V1.10. PXE boot with IPv4/v6 stack is verfied OK 44957 4 chao.b.zhang 2014-08-05 00:49:51 +0000 Please update Minnow firmware to V1.10. PXE boot with IPv4/v6 stack is verfied OK 48311 5 warthog9 2015-01-26 22:27:24 +0000 MinnowBoard v1 has reached new feature EOL, FW development is done as are new hardware features. If you feel EXCEEDINGLY strongly about an issue please re-open it for discussion but be aware that we are recommending individuals migrate to the MAX platform.
