Public Beta (2021 12 03)
Posted: Thu Dec 02, 2021 9:22 pm
Unfortunately the last public beta still has a reboot problem for some people.
At the moment we do not know what is causing the problem, except the radio appears to be unable to read the RSSI from the RF chip, which seems to cause the firmware to freeze, which then causes a reboot.
Because the reboot under these conditions is caused by the firmware, we have added an option to disable the CPU Watchdog Timer , (WDT), so that if the radio freezes it should not reboot, and operators will be able to perhaps observe what was on the screen when the radio froze, or possibly report on whether the radio can still receive even if the User Interface has frozen
Could anyone who has the "Settings update" problem, or any problems with hotspot mode, or operating with TS and CC filters enabled at the same time, please try this version

Anyway, who has experienced the "Settings Update" crash, should also change the WDT setting in General options, to turn this feature off.
After turning the WDT off, the radio should be power cycled, i.e turned off and on again, to ensure this setting is saved.
