Known Issues with this release:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Tracker #26417: Unable to read program data from device during upload HSC firmware.

An "*Error* Unable to read program data from device" will display if the firmware update utilities failed to communicate with the firmware. 
When this happens, the firmware will be left in firmware transfer mode by the firmware update utilities.  

Workaround: Repeat the FW update process again to update the HSC FW. This time around,a message will be displayed as follows: “*WARNING* The device HSC (C0) is in FW Transfer Mode”.

At this step, the user should continue to update the firmware to ensure that the firmware is properly updated.  

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1)  Do not update the boot code if you have TeeDock board version A01949-301 or older.  Flash updating Lion HSC boot code with the earlier version of the TeeDock boards might leave the HSC to stay in firmware update mode until AC power cycle is performed.  In addition, new boot code is NOT REQUIRED to be updated from the previous HSC versions.   

Only the TeeDock boards version A01949-302 or newer have the jumpers to disable/enable the boot block protection.  The boot code can be reprogrammed by setting these jumpers to disable the boot block protection.
