yeah you need to update reach view app!
(options: upper right on the main screen and then update button if i remember correctly!)
the image provideds an old version
I’m on a very slow connection right now so I’d rather download the image and flash the Reach’s rather than use the web app that requires multiple downloads of a large file.
can you elaborate that a little bit? it is still in beta, so bugs can be found;
sure, revert to 1.2; if reach has internet connection, updating ReachView inside the app should not be a problem; recheck if Reach has internet connection when updating;
The unit would not respond. The stats light went to light purple and never progressed. I could not ssh to the device and the wifi hotspot didn’t start.
Yes, I used the CLI instructions on Windows since the Intel GUI applications fails to install on my laptop.
The process to update ReachView using the web app also failed. I’m getting a red blinking light now. (I reverted back to 1.2 for now, but still can’t update the ReachView app automatically.)
Let me try to make things a little bit more clear.
Versioning systems
Reach software is defined by two numbers: the image version and the app version.
For the first ReachView the latest are 1.2 and 0.4.9 correspondingly. However, the image we have posted contains the app version 0.0.3, just because it was the newest at the time.
For the beta, the image version is 2.0 and the current app is 2.1.2.
Updating on the slow connection
The first RV has an update system that is far from perfect and the amount of data to download when you update from 0.0.3 to 0.4.9 is rather big. It’s not as big as a whole image, however.
The new beta has a much more advanced update system, it will show you new version availability, progress and such. Moreover, the difference between the default app version beta image app version and the current 2.1.2 is way smaller than it is in the non-beta release, so updating on slow connection will be easier.
Overall, I would recommend using the beta any day. It’s still lacking some features, but mostly is quite stable and much more pleasant to use.
