Yes, I confirm the default firmware in the Touch is a beta version! I
can see comments and todo's/bug ID's all over the code.
By the way, I am not able to find the hardware version displayed
anywhere in the "Diagnostics" menu or "About.." menu. But I found the
following in the log. Does it say anything?
Code:
--------------------

...
--------------------
Yes, the version of the fw I tried to install from the USB drive
(formatted FAT with no subdirectories) was fab4_7.6.1_r9486.bin, but I
had renamed it as fab4.bin on the USB.
In fact I just noticed the following code in DiagnosticsApplet.lua
under the jive applets folder, and this is probably why the "Software
Update" option under "Diagnostics" doesn't work even with the USB
mounted:
Code:
--------------------
...
menu:addItem({
text = self:string("SOFTWARE_UPDATE"),
style = 'item',
callback = function ()
--todo: this does setup style FW upgrade only (since
this menu is avilable from setup). When we want different support for a
non-setup version, make sure to leave the setup style behavior
appletManager:callService("firmwareUpgrade", nil, true)
end
})
...
--------------------
But I have yet to figure out where the "menu from setup is" and what
the comment actually means. I certainly don't see it even when I do a
factory reset... but the reason may be this:
I noticed the following in the log, and then discovered that
SetupFirmwareUpgrade*.lua and Upgrade*.lua file are empty (ie, code
removed.. replaced with a long line of spaces - very smart!) in the
applets/SetupFirmwareUpgrade folder. Same for SetupFactoryReset and
SetupDatetime applet folder. This is probably why it doesnt do the
auto-update!
Code:

Anyone knows where I can find the default scripts from around this
version? Is the source tree available somewhere?
BTW, I also noticed the following in the log. During startup, the
player actually recognizes that it requires a fw update and correctly
identifies the .bin file on the SB server... but nothing happens after
that. Any ideas - probably because of the deleted applet scripts
above?
Code:

--------------------
Another potentially interesting thing I found in Firmware.pm under
Slim/Utils folder - haven't figured out whether it has any
implications. I dont see fab4 listed in here, but I noticed that this
list is checked in a few places for valid models.
Code:
--------------------
...
# Models to download firmware for
my @models = qw( squeezebox squeezebox2 transporter boom receiver );
...
--------------------
Suggestions/ideas on any of the above?
(BTW, if anyone from Logitech is looking at this thread with concern...
I fully understand that this is an old beta version of the product and
this is not how the Touch is intended to be used! I am new to SB
products - this is my first sb player - so I am trying to figure this
thing out and learning heck of a lot in that process, and I will try
and share if I find out anything that is potentially interesting to
those technically inclined users here..)
