Format of the SDCard from the iStar is not working, normal ?
Yes, we are aware of this issue.
Is this a cumulative update or do we need to install previous firmware update first?
I installed on my unit this version without installing previous ones ;) so I think you can jump on this one directly !
Just go straight ahead and install this version directly.
Is there a way to see the current firmware version installed on the iSTAR?
Thomas I asked the same question - Answer is not yet although it is planned to introduce that capability.
Thanks for your feedback Chris.
