Econet in all its guises • Re: Pi Econet Bridge v2.1 released

I'm assuming the silence here is a good sign!

Would be really interested to hear from those who have upgraded to the release version of 2.1 - how you got on with the upgrade process and how you're now getting on with the new software:

The upgrade process

• What bridge model do you have?
• What model of Pi are you using?
• What version of PiOS have you installed:
  • Bookworm, or older?
  • Desktop or Lite (note that Lite is the recommended version)?
  • 32 bit or 64 bit?
• Did you upgrade the overlay in the EEPROM, or have you put the overlay file into the firmware folder and updated config.txt to point to it?
• Did you backup /restore the bridge config or the PiFS econetfs directory before upgrading, and did that process work ok?

The Pi Econet Bridge software

• If you were having problems with permissions, are they now all solved?
• If you were having problems with WiFi on 64 bit, is that now solved?
• If you were having problems copying large files on RISC OS, is that now solved?

Are there any other issues we need to be aware of?

Does the Quick Install Guide and EEPROM upgrade guide give all the information you need, or do I need to modify them in any way?
