The update is done by olpc.fth if the XO is not secured, and we just re-enabled the ability to do this on XO-4 in os12. A battery/power icon will appear if the XO is running without external power and the firmware cannot be safely updated.<br>
<br>As I understand it, the auto-firmware reflash process was temporarily disabled to avoid an issue with XO-4 A2 prototypes. Re-enabling the reflash process means we can no longer support these early prototypes going forward.<br>
<br>Very few people outside of OLPC likely have XO-4 A2 units.<br><br>---<br>SJG<br><br>

</div>What chunk of code does the update? Could it display a reminder for a few<br>
seconds if there is new code that hasn't been applied yet?<br>
