The version 4.6 contains only one change in the bootloader, see issue #34332 below for details. The change is related to initial production programming at the factory only and doesn't affect normal usage. The WinCE image and BSP were not changed and therefore not rebuilt for 4.6. They stay at 4.5. Customers can continue to use their tested bootloader and image version as the issue fixed in 4.6 bootloader isn't critical and doesn't have any affect in normal boot mode. |
WC-1230 | Fixed | BadBlock detection during initial production programming takes too long | Colibri PXA320, Colibri PXA310, Colibri PXA300 XT, Colibri PXA300 | Bootloader | CE5, CE6 |
Description: The bootloader contains code which is used during initial programming at the factory only. In this code there was a bug which could have lead to timeouts during production depending on the content of the flashes coming from the flash manufacturer. This bug was fixed in the bootloader 4.6. This change doesn't have any impact on normal boot behavior and only changed the behavior during a special test mode during initial programming at the manufacturer. |

Description: A bug in Kernel V4.4 leads to overwritten MAC address and hardware version settings in the config block when using the UpdateTool to restore the config block. This is normally done, if you use a complete Flash backup to clone the Colibri module SW configuration in production process. Having modules with the same MAC address is only a problem if you are using these devices in the same Ethernet network. Workaround: The following article describes the problem in detail and provides various solutions:
