EtcherPro progress updates

Hello everone!

We have some exciting updates:

  • We have released a new OS and application version to address the following issues:
    • We have fixed the fan issue! It works fine now without making weird noises. It took a while but we wanted to fix it in a way that other people could use these drivers so we added it to balenaHub as a block.
    • From now on EtcherPro will automatically get the latest Etcher version every time we make a new release. To avoid software issues and accelerate the process, we are implementing a beta version of our automated hardware testing to automatically test every release before sending it to the customers’ devices.
    • Finally, we exposed a unique ID (UUID) in the settings modal to help with device identification and improve the remote support experience.

Important: To keep your device up to date, make sure it is powered on and connected to the internet. If you still face issues please send an email to store@balena.io, ideally including the device UUID found in the settings modal.

In the meantime, EtcherPro production is running smoothly and we are about to produce another batch of devices.
