[maemo-community] URGENT! Updating the info for flashing

[From: Jarmo.Tikka at nokia.com]

Hi,

Flasher-3.5 has been documented in download page

http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php?f=Readme_Maemo_Flasher-3.5.txt

and as said in that readme file all installation packages include also documentation so I see no big problems here.

* FILES INCLUDED

  - flasher-3.5                  - flasher binary file (flasher-3.5.exe for Windows)
  - libusb                       - USB library (only for Windows and Mac OS X installations)
  - COPYING_LGPL.txt             - license text for libusb (only for Windows and Mac OS X installations)
  - License_Agreement.txt        - license and disclaimer text for flasher binary
  - Help.txt                     - short command line help 
  - Readme_Maemo_Flasher-3.5.txt - this file

*****

Same Flasher-3.5 documentation from readme and help.txt files is meant for all operating systems (as the tool is the same :).

We do not have Flasher-3.5 documented elsewhere because we do not have final Fremantle Developer Guide yet.

Cheers,

Do you mean that 770Flasher still plays well with

maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2_i386.dmg      264969  Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tool for
Fremantle and Diablo, installation package for Mac OS X (Snow) Leopard
(x86, 32-bit)
maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2_ppc.dmg       248813  Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tool for
Fremantle and Diablo, installation package for Mac OS X Leopard (PPC,
32-bit)

?

And that "2.0" can be changed by "3.5" at
http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#Console_with_flasher-2.0
?
