Apart from that (future firmware being software upgrade-able), what
other reasons are there for people wanting to upgrade? ie, is there a
changelog somewhere?

Hmm.. That's funny. I called yesterday and talked to someone who told me 
the upgrade to Second Gen firmware was free, but that if I wanted to add 
the Echo Cancelling module, it would be $850. Since I do not have any 
major echo issues that software echo cancelling can't fix, I declined the 
upgrade. They even offered me an advance replacement option as long as I 
provided a Credit Card.

The RMA process was painless. I spoke with Joy Lister. I should have my 
new card early next week.

TE405 Rev A uses an XCF01S which by Xilinx own documentation says is a PROM.  
I haven't taken a close look at the TE405 Rev B.  :-)  

Of course, Xilinx could be outright lying and the're not PROM at all, or 
they're being pedantic and saying "yes it's programmable, but it's also 
REprogrammable."

Either way I'll just shut up.  :-)

Actually, it is EEPROM, and will be upgradeable in the field once the 
card has 2nd gen firmware installed on it.

We do 2nd gen firmware upgrades for customers every day, have been doing 
them for a couple of weeks now. The process is simple, just contact the 
RMA department and be prepared to pay for shipping the card to and from 
our facility.


Once the card has 2nd gen firmware on it, future upgrades will be 
possible in place, without having to send the card to us.

Unfortunately not.  It's a configuration PROM, not EEPROM or FLASH.  I am 
pretty sure that Digium has an upgrade program in place though.  It's best to 
contact them directly for these types of inquiries instead of the list.

hi,

after stumbling over the compile time flag in zaptel and after reading 
the new features of the 2nd generation firmware of the TE405P/TE410P, i 
was wondering if the cards are capable of upgrading the firmware in field?
