Firmware Changelog

2.1.0 (2024-11-21) - Commands release

This firmware release adds some maintenance commands and modifies the creation of the INFO.TXT file to avoid issues when powering on the device.

Changes

  • When plugged to the USB port in mass storage mode when the user eject the ROMEMUL volume it does not automount again automatically. The user must press RESET button or unplug and plug again the USB connector.

New Features

  • The commands feature of the version 1.x is back. Now, if a user creates a folder or file with the following names, it will trigger an action in the device when ejected:

  • REBOOT: When the volume is ejected, the device will try to mount again the volume again.
  • RESET: When the volume is ejected, the device will enter in BOOTSEL mode. The volume RPI-RP2 will be mounted again and the user can flash a new firmware.

The files or folders will be deleted after the action is triggered.

Fixes

  • The creation of the INFO.TXT file was modified to avoid issues when powering on the device. Now, when powering on the device there is not any write operation in the mass storage device until the user decides to do it. This avoids issues with some users pressing repeatedly the RESET button when powering on the device and not completing the boot process.
