 There are two methods for updating firmware:
- * on a live board using Serial Console and Ethernet ('''Note that currently the eMMC FLASH can only be updated on a live board booted from either eMMC or microSD''')
+ * on a live board using Serial Console and Ethernet 
  * on removable storage (ie recovery microSD)
- * using a GW16099 JTAG dongle (see [#jtag below]) ('''Note that currently only the GSC firmware can be updated via JTAG''')
+ * using a GW16099 JTAG dongle (see [#jtag below])
 
 The various items that can be updated:
  * GSC Firmware - currently only JTAG updates are supported for Newport - see [#jtag-gsc below]
- * Boot Firmware (Everything up to and including the Bootloader) - currently must be updated from U-Boot or Linux on a live system - see [#serial-ethernet below]
- * Root Filesystem (Operating System) - currently must be updated from U-Boot or Linux on a live system - see [#serial-ethernet below]

 All Newport boards have a 10-pin JTAG header which provides:
- * JTAG Programming for embedded FLASH - see [wiki:jtag_instructions here] for instructions
+ * JTAG Programming for embedded emmc flash - see [wiki:jtag_instructions here] for instructions
  * Serial Console access via UART0 (/dev/ttyAMA0)
 
 Please Note:
- * '''Linux software is supported for programming Newport (jtag_usbv4 required).''' Windows is not supported at this time.''' (serial console through Windows does work).
- * '''JTAG Programming of eMMC has not been made available yet'''. You must boot from a microSD image to program or re-program eMMC flash through TFTP
