There was a new release of the G-2 firmware on the weekend. While still not perfect, the initial feedback has been encouraging. If you have recent code, you can update it over ethernet. Early versions probably need a micro-SD reader.

You should also remember your G-1 firmware has gone through many years of revisions. You need an EPROM programmer to update it however further upgrades are unlikely. If it breaks it is quite possible it will not be repairable because some parts are unobtainable.

However, I'm in no hurry to replace my G-1 with a G-2.
