ZimaBoard 832 still on ZimaOS 1.6.1 – no update notification

Hi everyone,

I have a question for other ZimaBoard users.

I have an original ZimaBoard 832, with an Intel Celeron N3450 @ 1.10 GHz, and I have a ZimaOS+ Plus license. My current ZimaOS version is 1.6.1.

As you can see in the screenshots, I’m no longer getting the update notification in Settings. Normally, when a new ZimaOS version was available, I would see the update badge/notification there, but it has now disappeared and my system remains on 1.6.1.

I understand that newer versions, including 1.6.2 and 1.7.0, have been released, so I was wondering if other ZimaBoard 832 users are experiencing the same thing.

Is ZimaOS 1.7.x currently available via OTA for the original ZimaBoard 832, or is the rollout still ongoing/limited for this hardware?

Also, is it normal that I haven’t received the 1.6.2 update either?

I’d prefer to understand how the OTA rollout works for the ZimaBoard 832 before considering a manual update.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

@emaoca After you log in to the machine, execute curl -fsSL https://ota.zimaos.com to see if you can get the updated script and the new version normally.

Thanks @Bin for the suggestion! I ran the command:

curl -fsSL https://ota.zimaos.com

The script was returned successfully, so the ZimaBoard can reach the OTA server normally.

Interestingly, the script reports:

  • Current version on my system: 1.6.1

  • Stable version on the OTA server: 1.7.1

So it seems that the OTA server is reachable and is currently advertising 1.7.1 as the stable version, but my ZimaOS Settings still show 1.6.1 and there is no update notification/badge.

Should I now run the upgrade command with | sh, or is there something else you would recommend checking first to understand why the update is not appearing in the ZimaOS interface?

Thanks!

@emaoca To investigate the cause, you can also check the following outputs:


curl -L http://127.0.0.1/v2/installer/release/latest | jq

journalctl --no-pager -u casaos-installer

To upgrade to ZimaOS v1.7.1, run:


rauc install https://github.com/IceWhaleTech/ZimaOS/releases/download/1.7.1/zimaos-x86_64-1.7.1.raucb
