WR Switch firmware v5.0.1 released

Since v5.0 was released we have found a few problems in the WR Switch software package. This new v5.0.1 release does not include new functionality but contains important hotfixes to the v5.0. The FPGA bitstream used in v5.0.1 is exactly the same as in 5.0, therefore those same calibration values apply. As for any other release, you can find all the links to download the firmware binaries and manuals on our v5.0.1 release wiki page

wr-switch-sw-v4.1.2

This release fixes a few problems we found in the previous release:

- The SCB type used for PLL configuration now depends on the hwinfo partition and not on the DF type.
- Correct reboot procedure in the web interface.

wr-switch-sw-v4.1.1

This release fixes a few problems we found in the release 4.1
- upgrading from v4.0 was not actually preserving the MAC address
- upgrading from v4.0 without a management USB connection was going
to stop without completing
- one of the “trivial” changes in our PTP daemon was wrong and
resulted in constant offsets in the synchronization

WR Switch Software v4.1

The release includes support for the new motherboard (a.k.a. scb).
It include SDB support for hardware identification, an update procedure
that can replace the boot loader, better code in the web server and
a new organization for documents. It also removes ptp-noposix,
to simplify addition of new features and code cleanup.

WR Switch firmware v4.0.1 (hotfix for v4.0) is out

Unfortunately we found out after the v4.0 release that there is a bug in the SoftPLL module that causes problems with synchronizing some boards to the switch in a free-running mode. This v4.0.1 firmware should be used instead of the v4.0. List of features and the documentation is the same as for v4.0. You can find more information on the v4.0.1 release wiki page
