(A wrong firmware may be downloaded and will illegally be started)
V1.4.17.0 (30.09.2014)
-----------------
Changed:
- netX51/52: Introduce separate 2nd Stage Loader binary for each chip type

1 0 Parallel DPM (16 Bit)
1 1 Parallel DPM (8 Bit)
V1.4.7.0 (16.01.2012)

---------------------
Changed:
- Disable USB at start to allow host to detect disconnection during restart
- MRAM data is now inserted into System Status Block of DPM
Bugfix:
- MRAM may not be mapped correctly
V1.4.5.0 (06.12.2011)
---------------------
Added:
- Mapping of PCI target 2 (MRAM on 2nd memory bar)
- netX10: USB communication changed to prevent FIFO problems (now using special protocol over USB).
ATTENTION: This needs a special USB Driver (netx10ser.sys V6.0.2.0 or later)
V1.4.4.0 (16.09.2011)
---------------------
Bugfix:
- netX10: Host interrupt was not correctly enabled for DPM Targets.
- netX10: Host handshake cells were not zeroed correctly on system start (NSF_RESET)
- netX10: Backup Partition did not work in SQIROM Mode
- netX10: SDRAM Parameters from Taglist may not be used, depending on tag list element order
(HIF and SDRAM depend on each other)
- Bootloader update on SQI Flashes that don't support Page Erase does not work
Changed:
- netX10: Generic 2nd Stage Loader binary now always uses SQIROM mode
(pre-activated in taglist)
V1.4.3.0 (14.09.2011)
---------------------
Added:
- BOOTTOKEN_HARDWARE_FLAGS_CUSTOM_MMIO_MAPPING is now passed to firmware in
Boottoken BOOTTOKEN_HARDWARE_FLAGS, to tell the firmware a custom MMIO
mapping has already been setup by 2nd Stage Loader and Firmware does not
need to change it again
Bugfix:
- netX50 may erroneously detect a break signal on fiber-optics hardware
and enters serial boot mode instead of starting the firmware or correctly
returning from a system reset via DPM
- netX50 UART does not work if Fast-Startup mode is not enabled due to wrong
MMIO configuration
Changed
- UART is now checked for incoming transport packets in main loop. This allows
to talk via UART with the 2nd Stage Loader even without asserting a break signal
at coldstart
ATTENTION: If a connection established via UART/USB/DPM all other connections
will be disabled. This means if a connection via UART is established
no access via DPM or USB will be possible until device being reset
V1.4.2.0 (11.08.2011)
---------------------
Changed:
- All DPM Windows are now disable before firmware is started. This makes sure that the firmware
can use the internal RAM for code/data completely, without the host destroying program code,
before new DPM mapping is set up
- USB core is now always disabled before firmware is started
- AIFX now read with 4kHz
- netX10 DPM timings updated for comX compatibility
