Confused
PR2 Rev 686

There were 2 major PR2 releases:

RC4 --> PR2 --> PR2 Rev 686

Beta testers who had PR1 had a different process to upgrade from RC4 to PR2
so i gotta download pr2 and update mine from RC4?
Yeah. The PR2 release that is currently available on the homepage is PR2 Rev 686, and you can just upgrade your board from RC4 directly to that.
