Hello, Firmware versions are not directly comparable across SW and HW; the newest for HW at the moment for v3-v4-v5 is 5080 and it's deployed on all probes. We automatically upgrade the whole fleet when we have newer releases. That said, we'll indeed apply the same principle: too old ones (i.e. ones that refuse to upgrade) will likely be left behind.

OpenWRT 5130 is available and just today Lukas wrote a mail stating that even the auto-upgrade works, which is cool! I believe 5130 is hardly different from other 5xxx series in terms of resource needs.
Is there any indication when support for 5040/5080 probes will be discontinued? Then I can plan the effort required.
The hard deadline is not set yet but it's the ballpark of months;
I'm assuming the sequence of events you have in mind is to upgrade the HW probes first and only afterwards contemplate blocking <5130 probes *both* HW and SW variants, is that assumption correct?
You wouldn't want to hold SW probes to a higher standard than your officially supported HW probes, right?
Thanks, Lukas
