50 a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	1 FC Tourmaline stdmodem functional configuration is equivalent to Magnetite
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	2 hybrid. The only intentional diff from Magnetite to Tourmaline in the modem
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	3 configuration is the change of Nucleus: Magnetite uses the blob version of
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	4 Nucleus which came with TCS211-20070608, whereas Tourmaline uses the source
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	5 version of Nucleus by Comrade XVilka. It is essentially a change from an
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	6 unknown version of Nucleus to a known one, thus it should generally be
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	7 considered an improvement - but as always with such changes, extensive
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	8 verification and testing needs to be done in order to ensure that nothing got

a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	11 Aside from the one intentional change of Nucleus version, FC Tourmaline is an
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	12 entirely new firmware source tree, thus it is always possible that something
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	13 could have got broken unintentionally, particularly in rarely-tested areas of
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	14 the firmware. Therefore, extensive testing will need to be done before we can
a62e5bf88434 first round of documentation Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	15 declare Tourmaline stdmodem as officially replacing Magnetite hybrid for stable
