Could someone please remind me how to upgrade my V4SA?
    I have downloaded ApolloOS_R9.2_Release.img and STANDALONE_9226.jic
    now what?

I suppose I can just dd if=ApolloOS_R9.2_Release.img of=/dev/sdb bs=512 but what do I do with STANDALONE_9226.jic? I have read some mention of flashrom.exe but where/how can I retrieve it, or is there an easier way to flash the eeprom?
   
    Thank you!

Download the latest SAGA3.0b10.lha archive:
CLICK HERE 
Install it and use the new command Apolloflash to update the core:

Apolloflash STANDALONE_9226.jic

Then use a tool like SDImage in Windows to restore the new ApolloOS9.2 image to your CF card.

For the non-Windows users, the dd utility command the original poster noted works fine for imaging CF cards.

Could you please tell me how I can get the mac address of the V4SA, either from ApolloOS or some other way that do not involve tcpdump?

Also I have upgraded to STANDALONE_9226.jic, when I boot with the L+R mouse button pressed it says: "ApolloROM Early Startup Control -- Release 9.2, 2023-01-27" could someone confirm it matches STANDALONE_9226.jic please? Thanks again!
