The Helium team has tagged a new 2022.02.10.0 firmware release for Original Helium and RAK/MNTD Hotspots. All Original Helium/RAK MNTD Hotspots have a designated hardware_type to identify its hardware version at the manufacturing stage. By targeting Hotspots by its hardware_type, this release will enable RAK/MNTD Support teams to investigate and diagnose Hotspot-related issues in a secure manner without interaction from the Helium Support team.

Original Helium and RAK/MNTD Hotspot owners that install 2022.02.10.0 on an SD Card will not need to specify their hardware_type in order to receive this update. The firmware will automatically detect the Hotspot manufacturer and enable the relevant support tools.

Plan​

We have been testing 2022.02.10.0 since Feb 4, 2022 12:00 PM PST. Current ETA for GA is Feb 10, 2022 3:00 PM PST.
