      Hi,
      I tried to do a manual upgrade on my PC engines APU Board, which boots from the SD Card. The upgrade fails and and produces the following error message:
      [ Unable to open /cf/conf/config.xml for writing in write_config()]

      The Box comes up again with the version 2.1.5 and runs nicely. I was able to download the config.XML file. The file itself looks ok it is not corrupted)

      Below are some details which may eventually help.

      Any suggestions what should I do next.

      Thanks in advance Jakob
