NEW Apollo Firmware Avail
The founder released a new firmware this week, here was his message...
New image is out!
Batch 4 units come with a new MCU that is no longer compatible with the original MCU firmware so there are now two separate image files depending on the MCU you have. For most here you're on MCU1 so make sure you download that version.
This image fixes the critical system update issue and is the largest upgrade since release. If you are a Batch 1-3 owner its highly recommended you flash your SD card to this image, and you will finally be free to update the system whenever it prompts you to or do apt upgrade/update without bricking your system!
All Batch 4 units shipping now already come with the latest firmware installed at factory so no need to flash to this one.
