AWS CloudHSM firmware updates

~ hucktech ~ Leave a comment

[…]In this post, I demonstrate how to update your current CloudHSM devices and client instances so that you are using the most current versions of software and firmware. If you contact AWS Support for CloudHSM hardware and application issues, you will be required to update to these supported versions before proceeding. Also, any newly provisioned CloudHSM devices will use these supported software and firmware versions only, and AWS does not offer “downgrade” options.[…]

Amazon hates U-Boot

~ hucktech ~ Leave a comment

DENX, makers of Das U-Boot, one of the main boot loaders, is strangely getting hassled from Amazon for their cloud host, see below email. If you’re at Amazon and can help, Wolfgang’s contact information is listed below.

Subject:     [U-Boot] ACD takedown – new shared link
Date:     Tue, 01 Dec 2015 19:08:42 +0100
From:     Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
To:     u-boot@lists.denx.de

Hello,

for some reason Amazon Customer Service decided that publishing U-Boot sources on the Amazon Cloud Drive would violate their Terms Of Use:

    Date: November 30, 2015
    Filename: “u-boot”
    …
    We have received a complaint that you have been sharing
    content on your Amazon Cloud Drive that is prohibited by our
    Terms of Use. Upon review, we have disabled the sharing link.

I have read and re-read their TOU carefully and cannot understand what made them think so.  I appealed their decision, but did not receive a reply yet.

In the mean time, I have created a new link [1] and updated the web page [2] to reflect this change.

Sorry for any inconveniences this might be causing.
