Binary diff's have existed for a while ;) But it is the same situation for a a apt-get updates on a filesystem you know exactly what is there: you know what is there, thus you can upgrade that perfectly without any issues. One thing to consider with such upgrades though is that one might want to have "dual-image", but I think that is pushing it a bit. There is a big reason why people tend to state "do not turn off the device while upgrading". Noting that CHIP has a boot repair mode: http://docs.getchip.com/#chip-boot-repair-tool Thus in the case of a 'wrong flash', we could have a tool that just flashes it that way as a way of recovery ;) Greets, Jeroen _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
