[ENHANCEMENT] Mini+ Firmware Update: Amend prerequisites for 5.1.2. in documentation. #3610

Open Th3Rom3 opened 10 months ago

Printer type Prusa MINI+

I suggest amending a section in the documentation of new firmware releases (major and minor) to consistently and directly name the minimum bootloader and/or firmware requirements for an update.

In this specific example I was trying to pull up the firmware of a MINI+ from an old 4.3.2. version to the current 5.1.2. release. While the release page for 5.1.0. mentions the requirements for a minimum bootloader version, the section is absent in 5.1.2. documentation.

I believe it would be worthwhile to always have those requirements listed, even with minor release versions to keep it consistent.

Describe the expected functionality A small prerequisite section in each firmware release documentation shows the required bootloader version (ideally together with the firmware version that first introduced this bootloader version).

If I have missed something obvious, please disregard this issue.

Regards, Tom

I'll second this. A very worthwhile suggestion.

Also ties into #3555
