Tech Support: Dialects and reFlash

Dick asked:

Hello David; I just re-flashed my mmi201i board with V.3.17 which resulted in dialect 18. I was planning to use the instruction fPULSE0 but it can only be used with D=>19. Is there anything I can do to have D19 on my board?

Also, when re-flashing, the panel identified my board as $0040. Where on the board or elsewhere can that number be verified?

Hi Dick,

Firmware 3.17 is the last one for the MMi201. It's impossible for us to keep on updating firmwares for superseded products, I'm afraid. We must concentrate our efforts on moving forward. You need the New Improved Model!

The $0040 board ID uniquely identifies the board as an MMi201 containing a certain boot loader. It is there purely to help prevent users from "cross reFlashing" boards. For example, an MMi201 with MMi202 firmware would not work. They contain different processor chips.
