| 1 FC Tourmaline stdmodem functional configuration is equivalent to Magnetite | |
| 2 hybrid. The only intentional diff from Magnetite to Tourmaline in the modem | |
| 3 configuration is the change of Nucleus: Magnetite uses the blob version of | |
| 4 Nucleus which came with TCS211-20070608, whereas Tourmaline uses the source | |
| 5 version of Nucleus by Comrade XVilka. It is essentially a change from an | |
| 6 unknown version of Nucleus to a known one, thus it should generally be | |
| 7 considered an improvement - but as always with such changes, extensive | |
| 8 verification and testing needs to be done in order to ensure that nothing got | |
| 9 broken. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 Aside from the one intentional change of Nucleus version, FC Tourmaline is an | |
| 12 entirely new firmware source tree, thus it is always possible that something | |
| 13 could have got broken unintentionally, particularly in rarely-tested areas of | |
| 14 the firmware. Therefore, extensive testing will need to be done before we can | |
| 15 declare Tourmaline stdmodem as officially replacing Magnetite hybrid for stable | |
| 16 modem products. |
