Old bootloaders

[weavermedia]

Is there any work being done on the Synthstrom side to upgrade old bootloaders?

After the first Q&A with Rohan I thought the only issue with old bootloaders is that they can get stuck with zero byte or over-sized firmware binaries. But this issue shows that even properly formed firmware can break on these old bootloader versions.

Or am I conflating two completely different things here?

That bug is specific to community firmware. We're somehow generating binaries incompatible with the older bootloaders. There's instructions (provided by synthstrom) on the GitHub wiki about how to update your bootloader but we want to maintain compatibility regardless.

Aha!, I had no idea a bootloader update process was now available. There's a lot of information coming and it's quite spread out. Now I know to check the wiki too. Thanks! 🙏
