Perhaps it's a limitation of the group mailing list ... no images here
either, but not a huge problem.
For the firmware uploading process, what I don't like today is the very
manual process that requires some previous knowledge. You first have to
upload your image, then reset, then select the new image and click
'confirm' (or revert) and then reset again. You will also see an error
when confirming since the return code is not 0 but it's still a
non-error I believe, though it's been a while. I just think this could
be easier for customers (one click updates ideally), but I'm afraid the
entire update process and the various edge cases around it (failed
transfer, failed confirm, etc.) were a bit hazy, and this underwent some
fairly active development just before the 1.0.0 release so it was hard
to keep track of the changes 100% of the time.
The more eyes that look at it the better an eventual release will be,
though, so thanks for testing!

Re: iOS newtmgr app evaluation

Hi Jacob,
The images didn't seem to have made it through? Any feedback would be
appreciated if you see some things to improve, though ... we were really
hoping for some concrete feedback especially on the firmware update
process, but at worst we'll have to publish it as is and work any issues
or improvements out in a future update.
Thanks for taking the time to look, though, and glad you found the stats
useful. I think being able to stream live updates of the stats is a very
useful non-intrusive wireless debug tool.
