Dogie, where we can keep hitting f5 to check for a new firmware ?

I THINK its at https://github.com/blockerupter/avr_hbc, but they'll publicise it once its ready.

Woah we're potentially getting a firmware update? That's good news.

I didn't say that at all? I was asked where I thought the repository was, so if it was to be published, where it would go up. I said I was guessing at the above link.

Probably not, I'm pretty sure that's not the firmware on the BE ethernet controller, its probably the firmware on the miner itself(I don't think the BE ethernet controller has an AVR chip but I think the miner does). The BE ethernet controller uses a PIC chip(should be this http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?product=PIC32MX795F512L). The closest repo for the BE ethernet controller seemed to be this one https://github.com/dyzz/picminer which is probably an earlier version. I'm not sure how you would go about upgrading the BE ethernet controller firmware other than with a PIC kit since it doesn't seem to have a built in flash feature unless the "system port" can be used for that.
