Request to access older Balena OS version on dashboard for update

Hi,

We had a discussion in another thread that resulted in finding the following issue:

We have a request. We can’t do the update of the GPIO libraries as fast as we want.
And, I noticed that at balena you are not allowing to update OS version to 6.4.2 version on the dashboard anymore. Do you think there is any possibility of allowing that for a while, our fleet is not very big but still closing 300 devices?

We have to discontinue the use of GPIO libraries but that will take a while, meanwhile i cannot update our fleets units OS version to 6.4.2 because it’s blocked and if we update it to 6.5.x it will brake our units because of the unsuported GPIO libs.

Any possibility of allowing us to update our fleet to 6.4.2 meanwhile, enabling that option on the dashboard?

Best regards

Hello @suporte let me check internally!

@suporte is it possible that you selected a device from the list that is already running on this balenaOS version?

In the frontend we disable all the versions equal or lower than the one currently running on the devices, since downgrades are not possible. The recommendation here is to use filters to exclude the devices already running this version, and then apply the select all version.

Let us know if that fix your issue!

Hi @mpous ,

That’s correct, it was a filtering issue.
Thank you
