Checksum include in Firmware

Post by DummyPLUG »

Include the checksum of the firmware in the firmware file, and when update the firmware, the device will check the checksum, and only allow it to flash if it is vaild.

This can prevent user flashing a corrupted firmware.

p.s. file may be corrupted when download from offical site,or when upload to the router due to bad driver/cable, etc.
