Certainly understand about things taking time.... and rest assured
my question wasn't intended as a hurry up prod (grin)<br>
Have had no issues with the current image I have running. Again
THANKS for all you've done.<br>
<br>
Appreciate you mentioning about the easy way to do the upgrade.
Reminded me I don't have a copy of my own configs saved after my
initial install and will do so soon as I finish this reply.<br>

As usual theses things take a little more time than
expected. I am hoping to get it out before the end of the
month and hopefully a little before that. I suppose it depends
on your situation whether you want to wait or not. It is not a
big deal to update once you have the configs setup. You just
bring up the new image do the first time setup and then copy
the /etc/asterisk/* stuff you saved elsewhere back in and
reboot.<br id="FontBreak">

<div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix">Hi Doug,<br>
<br>
Getting ready to construct a new Beaglebone setup for a
friend.<br>
<br>
Just curious if the next image update is close enough that I
may as well wait for it or should I go ahead with the
present version?<br>
<br>
By the way thanks to you and anyone that may have helped
provided us with this neat package. <br>

little tease regarding the next release of the BBB
image. <br>
<br>
There have been very few problems with the current
release but the biggest complaint or concern is the
vulnerability of the USB to power spikes, EMI, etc.
Unfortunately when this happens the current kernel often
does not recover gracefully and a reboot is almost
always necessary. This is annoying with local servers
but for those deployed in remote areas it is just not
acceptable.<br>
<br>
The latest ArchLinux kernel </font><font style=""
face="Tahoma"><font style="" face="Tahoma">along with a
minor fix to the simpleusb channel driver </font>has
solved that problem. This is in testing now and so far
it seems rock solid. You can remove and replace the USB
cable from the BBB while connected and it restores
instantly. Thus if a USB spike takes out the connection
it will recover. This adds a huge increase in
reliability to the BBB. So for those of you who are
experiencing these problems help is on the way!<br>
<br>
The new kernel seems to start faster and although still
under testing it appears the 30 second boot delay that
is now in rc.local can be reduced significantly or
possibly eliminated. The entire startup process is
looking a lot faster. I have gone from power up to
connection to a node in less than a minute.<br>
<br>
Other things that should make it to the next release are
GPIO and backup/restore and a few other nice utility
scripts like weather alerting. Right now we are shooting
for mid September.<br>
<br>
There are lots of ideas brewing about future updates and
if anyone has any particular (realistic) needs in
additional features or can provide additional features
that would be useful to all please email me.<br>
