Hi,<br>
<br>
We will publish officially the Maemo 5 sales release *very soon*. I just<br>
overlooked the fact that the public documentation for flashing is quite<br>
outdated and many people will look for it e.g. the Summit participants<br>
that got a pre-production N900 with beta software.<br>
<br>
Flasher 3.5 was released recently with support for all linuxes but also<br>
Windows and mac OS X:<br>
<a href="http://maemo.org/news/announcements/maemo_flasher-3-5_tool_final_for_fremantle_and_diablo_released/" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/news/announcements/maemo_flasher-3-5_tool_final_for_fremantle_and_diablo_released/</a><br>
<br>
The software can be downloaded from<br>
<a href="http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php" target="_blank">http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php</a><br>
<br>
The documentation, however, is only reachable in the installation files.<br>
Nothing that Google is aware of.<br>
<br>
Because of this, <a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware" target="_blank">http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware</a> is<br>
outdated specially for Windows and Mac users.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/Flasher" target="_blank">http://wiki.maemo.org/Flasher</a> is ok-ish for core Linux users since the<br>
3.0 instructions mostly work for 3.5 without changes, but it says<br>
nothing about Windows and Mac.<br>
<br>
It says nothing about flashing the eMMC either. This is something that<br>
in principle regular users don't need to be aware of, but it's very<br>
important for those that got a pre-production device since they will<br>
need to reflash the eMMC in order to get the N900 as it comes out of the<br>
sales box.<br>
<br>
I'm not even a Windows/Mac user so (as shameful as it is) I reckon<br>
having no clue now about how these users are supposed to flash their<br>
devices. Can I beg some (urgent) help from the Nokians and community<br>
writers related to the pages linked above? It will save us many<br>
questions in lists and forums.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
