Hello,

Usually the different hardware revisions run the same firmware version.
Currently that's not the case (v3 is one version ahead at 4580, v1/2 are at
4570).

The system automatically notifies probes about the latest firmware available
for that hardware revision whenever the probe reconnects. The probe then
upgrades right away, if the latest version is not yet installed. This
requires no intervention from the probe host.

If the probe is otherwise up and running happily, then it does not get the
notification, therefore does not upgrade until the next reconnect. So in
general we have a lazy upgrade approach.

As of right now, all connected probes across all probe hardware revisions
are running the latest firmware version available (with the exception of two
misbehaving v2 probes).

Hope this helps,
Robert
