Hi Benedikt,
I thought to join in the discussion and maybe can help testing. I own a 4axis version that originally came with a july firmware on it that has gone already. However, the version I received from thanksbuyer was with chinese front panel they did not want to replace. Today I wanted to load your yesterdays firmware but did not succeed.
The start-up hangs at the "do not unpower" splash for longer than 20 min. After restart I can not come across the bootloader ... Luckily I could revert to the former version by simply installing it the usual way.
I am no worrying if my hardware is somewhat different from yours ... Is there anything different in the procedure with installing the latest heavy mod version?
I will look for hardware revisions and dump if I get some councelling, as I am not a linux person ...
thanks for looking into this interesting piece of hardware.
Keep it going
Ralf
Hello Ralf!
You're welcome 
Have you tried the version with -dump at the end? This one will not work (as I broke something there).
The other one however should work file.
EDIT: I was wrong. Sorry! The version I provided does not even work with my own machine. I will fix it real quick.
Regards,
Benedikt
What's new in your last version?
What I'm missing?

I am working on a completely new installer that will make upgrading a lot easier than it is now.
Thanks,
Did you figure out why there is a jumper inside the board? In the link I posted they use the jumper on their board to upgrade the firmware, and they use the same processor/fpga if Im not wrong, but unfortunately as much as I want to help, I'm not an expert on Linux.

As I said, it puts the CPU into "Boot from USB" mode.
The new upgrade works and is now published:
http://data.bmuessig.eu/CNC/DDCSV11/install-mod-20161119.zipIt should fix anything and allow the following new features:
- Custom GUI application support (if we choose to make one)
- Allows better and easier upgrades in the future
- Can run startup scripts from the controllers internal flash or from usb
- Can display a splash screen (if you delete the splash.ppm before installing you won't get a splash)
- Easy splash changing by just copying a new splash to the root of an usb and rebooting
- Fixed the too long soft and hard limit triggered strings
And more
EDIT:
I have updated the file with a few improvements.
If anyone installing the upgrade wants to help us understand the controller more, please consider sending us the dump of the old firmware and your hardware parameters.
This can be done quite easily by copying the upgrade to the root of the usb stick (as usual) and then creating a folder called "dump".
When you now execute the upgrade, it will copy all interesting files to this folder. You can then later send us the resulting folder (zip it and mail it to us or attach it to a post).
