PineStore notified us that a new SPI flash memory chip will be installed in the next batch of PineTime, because the origial one is EoL (End of Life).
This patch version of the bootloader add support for this new BY25Q32 memory chip. It also sets the backlight to the lowest level. This will prevent some devices with very low battery level from bootlooping.
Please note that it's not needed nor recommanded to upgrade the bootloader if your watch is working fine with 1.0.0. New PineTimes will be flashed with 1.0.1 by the factory.
Here is the procedure to update the bootloader (please note that upgrading the bootloader is a risky operation, do it only if you know what you are doing) :
- flash reloader-mcuboot-1.0.1.zip using your favorite companion app, following the same procedure than for upgrading InfiniTime.
- the watch will reboot and load the 'reloader' application. You'll see a small blue pine logo that is progressively being paint in white The bootloader is being updated
- the watch will reboot again, reload InfiniTime, reboot again and run InfiniTime.
