Two Factor Authentication (2FA) as been enabled for all git.whoi.edu users. For instructions on how to set up 2FA, follow the instructions on this page, or click here for a step-by-step walk-through.

Once you have 2FA setup, you may need to create an Access Token to pull and push with git. You will not be able to authenticate with git using your password once you enable 2FA. See this link for how to set up and use a Personal Access Token.

The decision to enable 2FA for all users is for added security. Oct 30th, some users experienced account lockout due to bad actors. 2FA will help prevent such incidents in the future. Thank you.

firmware: Add request_partial_firmware_into_buf() · 59cdb23c

Scott Branden authored Oct 02, 2020

Add request_partial_firmware_into_buf() to allow for portions of a
firmware file to be read into a buffer. This is needed when large firmware
must be loaded in portions from a file on memory constrained systems.
