How to update your ETH robot at date of 31 Aug 2016

[marcoaccame]

Today, the PR robotology/icub-main#365 has been merged into master.

The new features available with this commit need new FW of ETH boards (EMS/MC4PLUS/MC2PLUS) and of 2FOC boards.

Hence, since some days (following the commit in robotology/icub-main@bc2f4f4), the user who tries to update his/her ETH robot with a new icub-main is also forced to update icub-firmware-shared and the FW of some boards.

The user who only updates icub-main and nothing else will be guided to perform the other updates as he/she proceeds by proper messages from cmake and by diagnostics printed when running yarprobotinterface.

In order to avoid the above messages and thus proceed smoothly with the update, here is the list of correct actions to perform.

1. Pull latest version of yarp and compile it on server and on PC104.
2. Pull latest version of icub-main and compile it on server.
3. Pull latest version of icub-firmware-shared and icub-firmware-build.
4. Compile icub-firmware-shared on pc104: cd icub-firmware-shared/build-pc104, ccmake .., make.
5. Compile icub-main on pc104: cd icub-main/build-pc104, ccmake .., make.
6. Perform FW update of the ETH boards (EMS/MC4PLUS/MC2PLUS) and of the 2FOC boards with the latest available FW releases. See instructions in issue Updated documentation for FW update of ETH robots #134
