Firmware update for 20x series
PatrickLi:
I just got bitten by this auto update pushing 5679EX on me.
I spent hours to figure out that 5679EX will segfault when trying to register with TCP services. So I have to use Obi expert to turn off auto update (you can't do it on the web interface on the box itself, obitalk will override it. But obi expert will override obitalk.) and flash 5463EX to it.

@PatrickLi, that's interesting. How do you know that the firmware caused a segfault, what was the symptom? Did your device reboot? I've been having issues with random reboots recently and haven't been able figure out the root cause. When it reboots, there is no reason code associated with it. See my post here: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=12842.0
It seems to reboot every 2-3 days. I've also noticed that when it reboots, the rest of network freezes and no other devices on the network can connect to the internet, obviously not desirable. I wonder if it's related to the segfault that you identified. I would love to hear more about what you found.
WelshPaul:
Any reason why neither of you are using the latest 5695EX release? On my OBi202, it's been online for 15 days and counting. I haven't tested this build with TCP services though.
@PatrickLi states that the segfault issue was with 5679EX when used with TCP services, but reverting back to 5463EX appears to resolve this issue? So i'm guessing no reboots etc for you with this build?
@chilirock you say that your OBi200 is running 5463EX and that you're having reboot issues every 2-3 days along with network lockups? Are you using any TCP services?
chilirock:
Hi @ WelshPaul, Thanks for providing feedback from your device. Actually I am currently on the latest release v5695EX. I had posted the following update (http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=9983.msg82473#msg82473) indicating that my device automatically updated to the latest fw after performing a factory reset and adding it back to the portal. So I've been on that release last Saturday the 29th. My device has already rebooted once since then.
You asked about whether or not I was using any "TCP services". To answer your question, "I don't know". How would I check? I didn't change anything specific from the defaults other than disabling "EnableAccessFromWAN" under the External USB Storage section.

Oops, I need to get my eyes retested!

Most VoIP providers use UDP but as I have no real technical knowledge of Google Voice or the likes of callcentric, thought it was worth asking. Anyway, you would know if your OBi was set to use TCP, you would have to alter the ProxyServerTransport parameter. By default, an Obi devices is set to use UDP.
