Monte and I have been working for the past 4 months on a solution to do an automatic update of the 41CL boards.
This project is driven by Monte and build around the CL UPDATE ROM.
The host software is written in Java 8 and thus compatible with all Java supported platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc)

This is a follow-up project of my semi-automatic update solution presented at HHC2016 and at Allschwil.
It was a big improvement over the manual update but was still too complicated for most users.

I have been able to do a fully automatic update of my v2, v3 & v4 boards, including the OS section, for the first time last weekend.
There are still bugs, but things are progressing nicely, the plan is to have everything ready for the HHC2017 meeting.

Sylvain,

I assume that the host software will also allow for manual uploading? The CL UPDATE ROM sounds it will simplify updating the CL Flash library, but if I cannot get it on the CL, it doesn't help me. The problem I have been having is finding host software to connect to the CL (I use OS X). Either they keep crashing on me and I cannot figure out why or there are problems with uploading to the CL (the ROMS somehow doesn't upload completely).
