How do I know if I have the latest boot block/firmware that supports BBx on V2?

[jlane330]

I just received my V2 tonight, and installed V7.5 and V8 on my home computer. I then updated both. Finally, I plugged the V2 into the USB, and using EFI Explorer, it says the bootblock version is 2.07.01 (Oct-14-2010) and Firmware version is 2.07.04 (Nov-30-2010). I did not update the device, this is how it came. I looked under download software, and it appears this is the latest. Is that correct?

Thank you!

Yes sir … those are the most up to date (non Beta) versions of the Bootblock and Firmware.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Thanks Taz! In the future, where do I find this info? Under download software there was a link for what's new in XXX, is that about the only way. With all the different version floating around, it's easy to become confused (Beta, non-beta, use this, don't use that for LLy's, etc...). After playing with the V2 last night, it seems pretty cool and definitely has a lot of capability. Perhaps I'm the problem, but it seems like the documentation is lacking, which makes getting up to speed tough. Thanks again!

Yes, the documentation has not caught up...

in the meantime look for V2 BBL/BBF in this thread: Collecting-links-to-tutorial-material-scattered-in-other-sections (http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?2990-Collecting-links-to-tutorial-material-scattered-in-other-sections)
