I have no idea

The md5 of the zip file changed. Now its 1240b9a14ceab3f2777a5729f5632cdb

By the way, do you know why it changes, if you haven't made any change?

Hi! IIRC, I had to retrigger to start it as root in the past, you could might try to run in a root session or grant disk access to your user.

Hi,

I got some old Sandforce SSDs, whose FW I'd like to update.

This tool segfaults, however. IF I run a regular user it doesn't (but obviously I can not do anything). As root, I can see from console it scans and finds Sandforce based drives and them immediately segfaults.

Any ideas as to what might be the cause, or workarounds?

I updated the the source URL and the md5sum as well. If do you find an SSD which has newer FW on the manufacturer's website, let me know and I'll add that to the repo.

It hasn't been updated

vinibali commented on 2021-12-19 11:34 (UTC)

updated, thanks for the hint!

Please, update the md5sums value with that:

md5sums=(44edf9ab911b7f4f25e96cf3a0e9cff9)

I'm the package and the tool maintainer in one person (not the developer). I downloaded the FW packages one by one back in years, this is why the missing fw files, but I'll take care of the rest soon. Thanks

Thanks a lot for this awesome app. I managed to update my SV300S37A/240G from 521 to 603. However, 2 newer firmwares are supposed to be available. The latest is 60AABBF0, released at 05/28/16. Do you know why this version is not available?
