Rotel Firmware Site

[WallaceBW]

I have put together a site to help manage the firmware changes to all of our rotel gear.

http://rotel.homelinux.com/

It is in a proof of concept phase and I have just made the database functional (try RSP-1066 or RSX-1055). There is almost no content and it's really ugly... I just didn't want to put alot of effort into it if we decide we don't need it. I plan to make the Firmware revisions links and make the layout look like one of my other projects.

The layout should look like my MPEG-DATABASE Project if I decide to develop it any (try searching floyd with the Directory Structure option under advanced search ). And if you want more info on Mpeg-Database see:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpeg-database/

Basicly I am just looking for opinions as to if you all find this useful and would like me to develop it?

Very good idea

I think we need a site like that.
Do you plan to make the firmware themselves available for download ?

[WallaceBW]

Yes, I eventually hope to have a complete listing of all rotel firmware (Yes, available for download) and there changes in my database and as i said it will have similar layout to Mpeg-Database (see above) when complete. I even plan on making an Administrative page where select people (myself and Andrew for example) will be able to submit new firmware changes. The searches will be more exact limiting the results to firmware that is applicable and many things will look and work better.


Again I know it's crappy right now, but it will look much better once (if) I develop it.

Looks pretty cool. One thing I notice is that its saying that 2.24 is a higher firmware update then 1.47 which isn't really true since the version 1 and version 2's are different. Not a big issue just something you're going to have to deal with at some point.

I know there are errors.. again it's just an example not a released product. I'll work on it as time allows...
