Jan 25, 2022 - Bobcat pushed the latest OTA update today at 05:30 PST.

The following updates occurred in this OTA:

Bobcat Miner Firmware updated to 1.0.2.76

This update was exclusively for Bobcat Firmware and features a device maintenance optimization that will allow hotspots to free up hard disk space, so that they no longer stop syncing due to the hard disk being full.

so syncing wll not be stopped due to hard disk being full because it wll empty itself

POC Activities During an OTA

When a Bobcat firmware update takes place, there is no impact to PoC activities because the miner software is not affected and therefore continues running throughout the OTA update.

When a Helium miner software update takes place, the current miner running on the hotspot has to be stopped and replaced. These software updates will inevitably result in fluctuations in PoC activity and occasional downtime, but we will continue to work together with Helium to keep these fluctuations to an absolute minimum.
