Bios Update for ReadyNAS NVX Pioneer Edition
Hi all, Just wondering where I can determine the most recent BIOS version for my ReadyNAS NVX and where to download it from. I've trolled the discussions before for updated BIOS for my Ultra 6 P...
That's good enough for me ... Thanks to everyone for the assistance.
I see now I posted this in the wrong area and can't figure out how to delete. My apologies, still finding my way around.
If you download this file from Netgear http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/BIOS_Update_Package_0.5-x86.bin
then upload it as a firmware updateapp to your NAS it will update the Bios for you if an update is relevant.
It is alledgedly idiot proof !!!
Oooops Wrong info edited out as post below thanks to StephenB

I think the bios part is, but you can't convert an NVX to OS-6, because the NVX is a 32 bit platform.
Thanks both for the information. I was acutally responding with my understanding that the OS upgrade wouldn't apply due to the 32 bit situation when StephenB chimed in, my thoughts being based upon information I received from the wiki page. It's there that I downloaded the files necessary for OS6 upgrading my two Ultra 6 + units.
Information regarding the bios update file is sort of sparse ... I know it's for x86 units and am aware that's what the NVX is. Just wasn't certain whether the 32 vs 64 condition applied to the BIOS update. Thanks for confirming that it's applicable.
Now, the kicker ... anyone have the date of the current BIOS? Just wondering how that date compares to mine.

Best to check that first. Hopefully mdgm-ntgr will chime in (and he can also confirm that the add-on applies to the NVX).
