BL616 Tang Console 138k upgrade

[lboxy]

How do I upgrade Companion on the Tang Console 138k? It looks like I have to break the case to access the BOOT button — is that really necessary?

What case? The console60k I have is just a naked PCB. If there's a case around your board you might indeed need to open it. Do you have the sdram board installed?

I am also not sure if any of the developers actually have a console138k at all. I e.g. don't have one. So this may actually be completely untested code you are going to run.

I've never seen one of these in real life. I don't know if they have to be opened to be updated. Did it come with a manual?

@lboxy @harbaum the BOOT button is on those retro ready Console device on the opposite PCBA side. Mayne you need a pencil to press the button keeping the cover lid mounted...
