Firmware 1.0.14 update error message #8

I followed the firmware update procedure outlined in the release notes (renaming the file to firmware.bin and copying to the SD card, powering up).

Experience: after displaying a white screen for several seconds on powerup, I got an error message: "FAILED TO APPLY UPDATE!". However, upon hitting a key, the version number in the menu is 1.0.14, and the new word wrap and deletion functionality appears to operate. (Great to see the firmware evolve!)

Expected behaviour: success message.

Note: my battery has not yet arrived, so I'm powering directly via one of the UART ports. I'm not sure if that might be a factor.

This means, the firmware has not been fully written to the system and the update has failed. But, when you pressed the key, it restarts the update process and this time the update went through. So, that is why you have seen the 1.0.14 in the menu eventually.

Success message could be a nice touch tho. It is more intuitive for sure.

Thanks for the feedback!
