Nasty bug fixed in the latest firmware

Postby dmitri » Fri Aug 27, 2010 11:43 pm

In all previous firmware versions since 20100126 there was a bug which could cause random inputs to get stuck and not responding which in turn would require power cycling. E.g. in my case it manifested itself when electromagnetic noise from switching on/off electronic devices coincided with a specific value of an internal counter.

I'm a bit puzzled that nobody reported it, and I myself discovered it only a couple of weeks ago. Took me some time to track the cause.

I've had the kick stuck like this once. But then I thought it was a minor bug, updated the firmware and never experienced this again. I guess I was lucky.

Same here.i had problem at the first boot with the 08-01 firware, but only one times.
I thought that was the old settings to do it and reset to original settings worked for me! anyway thanks DMITRI!

Is the crash channel that keep getting stuck also counts ? :)

No. You most certainly simply have a misconfiguration on the crash channel.
