Is this an official release?

I am a bit wary of installing this on my VU DUO+.

** Brief explanation of DUO's bootloader update **


1. Unzip the duo_cfe_3_0_usb.zip to USB stick.(There should be /vuplus/duo/cfe_cfe_auto.bin)
2. Insert USB stick into the USB port of duo and power on the box.
3. It takes just a few secs to update.
4. If Duo displays the message "Finished..reboot", remove the USB stick and restart box.
5. To update 6.0 image, you should delete the cfe_cfe_auto.bin at /vuplus/duo in USB stick once bootloader update is finished.

So, is this needed for all future image updates or only for a particular image?

It is need for all new image based on original 6.0 as it has increased the flash size, again all this info can be found via the Vu home page.

After installing a bootloader do you have to re-install the ViX image and set it all up again - I've never done it before.

I would wait till ViX release the new image, there is no point in upgrading the boot loader now unless you want to try one of the newer images.

Looks like VIX 2.3 will be out in a few days. :D
