Bug Description
'lsb_release -rd'
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.1
package:
concordance 0.23-1.2
For harmony 525 / 555 users, if you apply "concordance -i" it shows a negative(!) memory on the device (detailled report: http://
If you update the firmware using that concordance package, you brick your harmony!
Despite this being reported as a bug for debian, and a patch already given in the above email discussion in November 2010 (see message from Mr. Trudel, subject: Testing a patch to fix the 525), all versions do not apply this patch:
This is clear, as the latest code in source forge is 28 August 2010, meaning all newer versions (at least the 0.22 and 0.23 versions I tried) have the error inside.
Resulting from this, also the 0.23-1.2 version is wrong.
I unbricked my harmony be leaving it on and plugged in the usb port, installing 0.22 source code, editing the header file in "libconcord" as described by Mr. Trudel, compiling & installing it manually.
Due to the risk of bricking your harmony device, I propose to clarify this (very small, it's only one number wrong in source code!)
rather fast ...

Yep, we're getting concordance from Debian and still are at a revision prior to the patch being re-introduced.
I'll mark this In Progress/High, and start preparing an SRU fix (applying the patch to the current version in Oneiric)
