Seems to me that if the software/firmware is corupted...why cant they just erase it and reload the whole program?

128 MB couldnt take that long to reload. You think the mother ship would have a back up copy of the software that could be beamed directly to the rover.

They'll probably end up doing that but at the current low com rate it could take a really long time.

It's designed for all the software to be reloadable from earth.

Funny it has as much memory as a $100 MP3 player for jogging.
