build 650 q2d06
The firmware looks for a developer key before it looks for the fw.zip.
This means that if you have a developer key (develop.sig) stored on your
machine, as most developers with MP machines will, then secure updates of
the firmware will not work. There are plenty of work-arounds for this, but
if the firmware were to look for an fw.zip before looking for a developer
key, things would be greatly simplified, especially for people with
developer keys.
