Hi,
Did anyone customized the wifi/IoT firmware ?
can someone share some experiences or feasible ideas ?

That can be useful for hardcode setups.
One question is the "EZ-B Firmware Update.exe" used to update the EZB v4 IoT or the Cortex ?
I read somewhere the IoT controller does not allow over the air updates, if the info is wrong that means, it's possible to update the IoT without a PIC KIT.
Do you know if the current EZB4's firmware can be upgraded to the new version 4 1/2, if yes the upgrade can only be done via PIC KIT or via over the air.
The current v4 WiFi can bot be updated over the air. Not sure about the v4 processor. There have been no updates to it.
I have it on good authority that the v4. 1/2 wifi will be over the air updatable.

The reason the V4.1/2 is 1/2 and not .1 or .2 is because only half the device is being updated, specifically the communication board. In fact, DJ has said they will be selling conversion kits so that you can replace the top board on a v4 to make it a v4.1/2. The bottom half of the board remains unchanged. (there will also be an add-on that can plug into the camera port to allow control via USB instead of WiFi for systems with embedded computers).
With the latest versions of ARC, there are now 2 firmware updater EXE's . One for the V3 boards, and one for the V4.x/2 boards. It is not clear if that is just for pushing updates to the top half of the board or will actually allow firmware updates for the processor as well. DJ will certainly tell us when it is ready for use.

EZB4 has 2 mcs: 1-PIC/Wifi/IOT & 2-ARM
the "EZ-B Firmware Update.exe" (i never run) asks for the IP so i'm assuming is updating something over the air, so the question is what mc firmware is updating ?
regarding the DHCP fix is for the EZB4 ?
is the upgrade via PIC KIT ?
is there away to know if my firmware needs the fix ?
Thanks
Do you know the the v4 firmware numbers/versions affected ?
I presume the last firmware is the one inside the IOT package ?
I am not sure which version number the problem was fixed in. It was some time ago, so if you purchased recently directly from EZ-Robot you probably have a version where it is fixed.
This evening or tomorrow I can post a version known to have the issue (because I haven't updated the one in my Roli yet because I want to label all the servo cables before taking it apart. I extended the arm length and added a super white LED and a laser, so I am using every digital port) and the latest version number. You can see the version by connecting to the EZ-B's web server.
Yes, the latest version is in the IoT package.
Version that still has the DHCP bug show version EZ-WiFi v0.3 on the lower left side of the web page menu.
Version that definitely does not have the bug (and is loaded if you flash from the EZ-IOT archive) shows EZ-WiFi v2015.10.31.00
I don't know if there is an intermediate version where the problem is fixed or not.
Alan
mine does not show any version on the web page.
I'm going to grab a PIC KIT to update to the last fw plus i can try to customize the HTTP server.
