Conclusion
The firmware upgrade process has following characteristics:
Robustness: this upgrade mechanism is not robust. Unplugging the CPE during the flash process makes
it only recoverable with a rescue CDROM.
Service interruption: step 1, when the Thomson Gateway reboots in “reduced memory mode”, is the
service interrupting step. Up till that point, all services are running and active.
