Since all omada hardware has firmware that needs to be adapted to controller versions as things evolve, why not unify all firmware versions to be the adapted controller version

 

This could provide an at-a-glance way for us to see what hardware is fully adapted or not when we are looking at the device lists on our controller, what is yet to be updated, what has plainly gone EOL etc.

 

Proposal:

Major, Minor,  Update

Match the Major and Minor numbers to the adapted controller version, the Update number could be incremented for each release for that hardware inside that controlelr version (eg bug fixes etc)

 

So i could tell taht, say ER8411 Firmware 5.15.3 is the thrid one adapted to controller 5.15

 

For example, in my list of devices, its a bit of a mess in terms of firmware version numbers.  If they were all say 5.14.2, 5.15.1, 6.0.0 you could tell at a glance

Hi  @GRL 

 

Thanks for the feedback.

I understand your perspective, but I have to say this is somewhat idealistic. Every firmware name must follow specific naming conventions. Given the substantial number of firmware versions already released, reorganizing them all would require tremendous effort. Additionally, we do need to account for scenarios where the controller isn't in use.

Fair enough, didnt think it was feasible but no harm in asking
