Board Update feature

Has anyone ever been able to get the Board Update feature to work reliably? That's where you put your new firmware on an ftp site and give the rabbit the url and it should download it and install it. If I use it while on the DC debugger, it will run successfully about 50% of the time. When it runs standalone it never works. Standalone I always get error 2 from function buDownloadTick(), which if you look it up in the source code means ERROR. Very descriptive. When it fails while on the debugger, it's usually because function buDownloadTick() gets into a mode where it only returns EBUSY, and spins on that error forever. When it is successful, it takes about 4-minutes to download a 461k bin file. Seems kind of slow, but this is only an 8-bitter with limited resources. So it's not a show stopper. It appears that this feature is not ready for prime time. FYI, I'm using DC 10.72 and an RCM6750 module. Steve
