I’ve been on V1.4.8 for months, but just now I read a note on another thread from Toshen, saying that the latest FW for the ZUMspot is 1.4.12. Is that also true for the MMDVM_HS hats?

It is true for any MMDVM_HS device

You can always check the ZUMspot/MMDVM_HS firmware releases on Andy's juribeparada / MMDVM_HS GitHub releases page: https://github.com/juribeparada/MMDVM_HS/releases. Version 1.4.12 was released earlier this week, I think on Nov 4th.

And just for reference, here are the Pi-Star commands for the scripts to update various devices via Pi-Star SSH access:

ZUMspot board connected to GPIO: ZUMspot duplex board connected to GPIO: ZUMspot USB key: USB-connected Libre Modem: MMDVM_HS_Hat board with 14.7456 MHz TCXO1 connected to GPIO: MMDVM_HS_Hat board with 12.288 MHz TCXO connected to GPIO: MMDVM_HS_DUAL_Hat board with 14.7456 MHz TCXO connected to GPIO: MMDVM_HS_DUAL_Hat board with 12.288 MHz TCXO connected to GPIO: Nano Hat board connected to GPIO: NanoDV NPi board: NanoDV USB board: BD7KLE/BG3MDO devices:

So the chinaspot boards are no longer being catered for in firmware updates? i’m a bit confused as i too are stuck on. v1.4.8
zumspot boards had ceased being supplied when i bought these boards so i hope we arent being penalised for these purchases

All of mine updated to 1.4.12 without any difficulty, I don't think there is any way to identify the source of the board especially with old firmware.

Note that the latest firmware enforces the satellite sub-bands so you cannot use 435-438 MHz now.

If it's a simplex Jumbospot. Mine updated without issues.

yep thats the script i use and have always used for the updates but it just does not upgrade beyond V1.4.8 it just seems to be a mystery but i did see a post somewere that no script will be wtitten for cloned devices such as chinaspots etc?

That script updated my Jumbo to 1.4.12, Gary. And since that same script updates the HS Hat boards from Germany, I believe it will continue to be useful for the Jumbo boards too.
If your Jumbo is one of the newer ones with a different crystal frequency, there is a variant of the update script just for that later Jumbo. Sorry that I don’t have the script’s name, though. Someone will chime in, perhaps Toshen, and give you that if you need it.
