This is the latest Neptune firmware image, as of 2014-03-11.
Full changelog follows:

neptune-1.06s:

  • Fix LCD display of hashing rate when using BFGMiner.

neptune-1.06:

  • Included BFGMiner (ver. 5.0.0);
  • CGMiner updated to v4.9.1;
  • Eliminated another possible source of spurious CGMiner/BFGMiner restarts
    (monitordcdc: Send "restart die" requests to miner only if die is not OFF)

neptune-1.05:

  • cgminer core updated to 4.9.0;
  • cgminer Neptune driver updates:
    • memory leak fixed;
    • some logging issues fixed;
  • knc-asic is updated to v2.5, which includes FPGA update to 5.02;
  • with knc-asic v2.5 also comes updated waas with support for "OFF" state for dies,
    so added support for OFF dies.

neptune-1.02:

  • Correctly create and apply default advanced settings on
    reset to factory defaults by power button
  • cgminer v4.4.1-knc3.6: Add API call knc-configure-die for dynamically
    add/remove dies
  • Fix problem: cgminer restarts frequently

neptune-1.00:

  • cgminer v4.4.1-knc3.5: Major rework of cgminer KnC driver:
    CPU performance improvement and better error handling
    This also fixes errors while viewing advanced settings page.
  • Update asic_cmd to v1.6
  • Print out board temperature, average DC/DC temp and clock rate on Status page
    for each ASIC board.
  • Remove checkbox "BFGMiner"
  • Detect enabled asics dynamically; do not use stats.knc file for that.
    Get rid of stats.knc file completely
  • There might be ASIC board plugged into slot 0
    (LCD screen does not prevent this)

neptune-rc9:

  • minor change in cgminer: cleanup statistics a bit
  • Make sure that after factory reset advanced.conf is recreated with default values
  • Fix bug: static IP can not be set from web interface
  • Update asic_cmd to v1.3

neptune-rc8:

  • Minor fixes in cgminer:
    -- Change priority of some log messages
    -- Missing closing zero in api string
  • Do not run monitordcdc if there is no cgminer.conf
  • Stop all dcdc before reboot
  • Improvements in waas and monitordcdc regarding power-cycling ASIC boards
  • Detect hardware configuration changes during runtime
    Useful when power-cycling ASIC boards
  • Button "Factory Defaults" on the Advanced page now works without producing garbage in response

neptune-rc6:
Initial public release; shipped with first few Neptune miners.

These are the latest Jupiter firmware images, as of 2014-03-11.
kncminer-1.01.bin is a firmware upgrade file to be installed via web interface.
kncminer-1.01_SD.zip is an SD card image for the full reflash. To install it, format an SD card in VFAT format and unzip the archive in the root of the SD card, then insert the SD card into the SD card slot of BeagleBone Black and power on the miner. When the bright LED flashes green, remove the SD card from BeagleBone Black SD card slot and powercycle the miner.
