Just a cat /dev/brain ...

Especially for BIOS-flashing take the famous sentence into account

"Never change a running system"

AFAIR, the last BIOS-updates for my R51 had just cosmetic effects. No 
need to risk a bricked devices for that.
As usual, read the changelog file...

Just my two cents ...
