Does that mean I have to flash every new release??
Thanks.

When I go to plugins-software management-advanced options-select upgrade source,there is nothing(empty)

Only MIPS-boxes are available do flash it online.
Boxes with SH4 processor are not ready do update online.

Why No update online ???

[santa]

Because we use an other build environment, so we can't use online update for all parts in sh4 Images.

Any plans to change this?

[TheChip]

No, because sh4 images are build with tdt-git and not with oe.

[SpaceRat]

No, because sh4 images are build with tdt-git and not with oe.

... which isn't exactly an explanation why it wouldn't be possible ...

I was hoping for the possility of some post-processing breaking up the complete image as it now comes out of the build process into atomic ipks like in oe.

No, because sh4 images are build with tdt-git and not with oe.

Why, with Other image sh4 is possible online update ?

Thnx

Why, with Other image sh4 is possible online update ?

Is this supposed to be a question (question mark) or a statement (sentence)?

To my knowledge, there is no image for sh4 which can truely be updated online.
The reason is that when building using max-tdt you rebuild just everything and get one huge complete image.

Images for mips are usually built using a bitbake based system which compiles each single atomic part of the image seperately. Python is a seperate package there, OpenSSL is a seperate package, libpng is a seperate package and so on ...
Parts that weren't modified do not get rebuilt at all. If only some wifi driver got recompiled, your online update will contain nothing but the changed driver ... if Python gets rebuild, it will contain Python and so on ...

Sounds great, is great and far superior, but it would also by an ass full of work to convert an existing build environment into a bitbake based one.

Why with PKT is it possible?

Whenever we need to upgrade from USB is deleted all..
