Hi,

It looks like there is a new 4.40-update for the GO-software. Files have different sizes and the setup.apk has a date of sept 28th. Weeks later than the initial release.

This must be in response to all the complaints users had.

I'm now trying to get a confirmation from TomTom…

I think they have just added a new USB driver for Win98.

You seem to be right. TomTom gives adding the USB-driver as the reason the files have been changes.

Pity, because we all wanted a beter 4.40...!

I suspect that if they were to release another patch that they would increase the version number. It would not make any sense not to as they would have a diaster trying to support it when asking users for version numbers.

in any event, the files are different :

e06d7aa030b2ba18a62d509d0e274b29 cp.txt
b77b2a0ba459b5a5962a854ac9daa87a setup.apk
f8a68faa720fafaa5c7b4548a291f75a setup.exe
c7d2c1096b9f24dddd24155483867576 ttn.txt

are the md5sums for v4.40 (which is still available)

and for 4.42 :

e06d7aa030b2ba18a62d509d0e274b29 cp.txt
b6be4be12eaa1471361dce8909591a5c setup.apk
4ee5080423abe37990752102efaa857b setup.exe
c7d2c1096b9f24dddd24155483867576 ttn.txt

so basically cp.txt and ttn.txt are the same. the setup.* files differ.

other observations are:

v4.40 application v4.400 2843/040900 OS 200 gps 1.21 boot 1.35
for the old version. haven't had tiome to install the new version yet. maybe someone else can give this info ?

ok here you go.

v4.40 application v4.400 2843/040900 OS 200 gps 1.21 boot 1.35
v4.42 application v4.420 2852/041010 OS 201 gps 1.21 boot 1.35

so both the application as well as the OS seems to be changed.

and some more information -- the TTGO GPL place:

http://www.tomtom.com/gpl

holds all files to compile arm-linux yourself including an example that
reads "hello world example" and when you touch the screen, you can draw a picture.

see:

http://www.linux-it.nl/ttgo-one.jpg
http://www.linux-it.nl/ttgo-two.jpg

if you rename the original ttsystem file and put the compiled version you've got it. note that the drawing is in an endless loop so you have to reset the device.

the ttsystem file is available on:

http://grobbebol.xs4all.nl/ttsystem

(cross compiled on a Fujitsu-Siemens laptop, running SuSE 9.1)

given the fact that both the kernel has been updated slightly as well as the ttn (navigational part) -- I'd say yes. it doesn't hurt. if you keep the 4.40 version you can always go back if you think the update isn't worth it.
