Does it get updated when we install rasplex on our sd cards?? I've always thought the firmware was for the actual device and therefor it needs to be updated manually but i rarely see anyone telling us to do it?

I've read it gives decent improvements and i'm interested in doing it if it's a manual process.
I don't think so.
To be honnest i didn't even know you could update RPi firmware. We'd need to see if this would work on openelec first.
By the way, how do you know which FW you are running ? where are FW Changelog located ?
So do we manually update the firmware as you would with a router? or is the firmware stored on the SD card and gets updated when you update your OS?
My understanding was the firmware (and any associated updates) is built into the various distros, such as Openelec, Rasbmc, etc., and loaded on each boot. So since Rasplex is based on Openelec, any firmware updates would be built into it as well. Am I wrong in this?
All firmware is loaded off the SD card. rpi-update just gives a convenient way of loading newer or other versions.
I would be surprised if openelec didn’t already have a process for managing the firmware updates. Likely using rpi-update.
You don’t have to update the firmware manually.
RasPlex includes the firmware and will update it with new releases (because OpenELEC does this for us).
this sounds interesting,
I'm not sure if this works as "advertised" :)
I installed the latest rpi firmware manually by ssh'ing to rasplex and copying it, but it doesn't fix the "analog audio issue" which people report is fixed in the latest firmware that Dom from the raspi organisation worked on.
Any way to make sure we are using the latest firmware?
And, any ideas why people report that the analog popping noise is fixed with XBMC after installing the latest firmware, but it's still there in rasplex (even when installing the firmware manually)?
Thanks, so the uname command gives me this:
Linux rasplex 3.6.11 #1 PREEMPT Wed Mar 6 22:31:56 CET 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux
But I don't know if that's the latest firmware version and if it includes the analog audio noise fix?
RasPlex 0.1.37 has updated the firmware to:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/commit/baa3ecffe67cc4a945ece474afba4c0844162eed (Apr 02, 2013)
The audio pops are still there with the latest Rasplex, even though it's fixed in Raspbmc.
Are they using another firmware than Rasplex or?
