@paulrickards so happy to see a functioning XO-1 again. i've got two down with the painful self-bricking due to the clock/firmware bug

@vga256 Oh no! I'm not sure what that is, how do I avoid it?

@paulrickards if it's an early model XO-1, it will self-brick if the internal battery dies and clock gets reset. it is unbrickable, but requires eeprom reprogramming via serial cable

thankfully, that's all avoidable with a firmware update! just update to the latest firmware if you haven't already, and the bug gets fixed

@vga256 Ahhh I see! It did complain about the system clock being wrong but it still booted. Maybe it's been fixed already.
