Hi,
Do older RIPE probes get updates? I have just recently revived this v3 probe.
Best, Urban Yes, as of right now, all hardware probes, as long as they connect successfully, will still receive updates up to the latest that they support.

My v3 probes seem to have stopped updating at version 5080.
I recently had to erase the USB stick on one of them to revive it, and it was also updated to 5080 afterwards. Even if https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/releases/firmware_index/ lists newer versions.
Bjørn That's correct, 5080 is the latest hardware probe firmware for v3, v4 and v5. Software probes have newer versions, but we're simultaneously working on a new hardware probe firmware approach with a common base for easier and faster releases, while reducing the maintenance burden.
This does mean that there is a considerable 5080 population, but there's also a bunch of software probes which are not updated. Regards, Trix Taiclet Embedded Systems Engineer @ RIPE Atlas RIPE NCC
