When to update

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
Yes, the bootloader rarely has a new version released. The only way to know if you need to update is to check the bootloader download (go to download.rockbox.org and browse to it) and see if the date is newer than the last time you updated.

Once RBUtil is the official install method, it's quite likely to include the option to update your bootloader (which will just replace it with the same version if yours isn't out of date, or may even detect and not update) for any players where a program can update the bootloader.

pixelma:
Such important things like "a new bootloader is released and requires an update to use rockbox on target xyz" is also always announced on the "MajorChanges" page in the rockbox wiki. If not instantly then it most probably will be there the next day - I don't know of any occasion where it would have been completely forgotten.
