New firmware dump: 3FE46398BFGB21 with BUILDDATE=20210311_1721

[jspavlick]

I purchased three of these GPON sticks from eBay. An AAAA, AACA, and AADA. The AAAA and AADA more or less worked out of the box, after a little bit of ritool work. However, after using the exact same settings on the AACA, I just can't get it to work. the AACA and the AADA run the same firmware as far as I can tell. I guess who cares, right? I'll just use the AADA?

But I tried out the AAAA (thinking that it would be the "oldest") and it is running, seemingly, the newest version of firmware, not listed on this GitHub repo.

It seems like 3FE46398BFGB21 was built on 2021-March-11 as far as I can read, which is newer than 3FE46398BGCB22, for example.

Interestingly, all of these GPON sticks have two files in the home directory.
