Hi,
I’ve noticed that at least one of my Reach devices running recent ReachView (2.18.0) has never been updated to u-blox M8 3.01 firmware. I was investigating why it was failing to receive from any Galileo satellites, when a local CORS station was showing them high overhead, and Galileo was enabled in the ReachView settings. I unfortunately don’t have an exact history of how and when various updates were applied. It’s MAC address is 90:b6:86:0f:67:1b.
On one device I manually upgraded the firmware successfully. See log below.
It has been through several FOTA upgrades through recent dev and stable builds so I make the naive suggestion to Emlid that something in the ublox upgrade check/process isn’t working correctly. I may have another also with the 2.01 firmware if a fix needs verification.
