Can you update the app or website to display the latest firmware release information for this device? When I plug in my hub, it only shows the current firmware version on the device but doesn't indicate if it's the latest. Unlike other options, I can't click on the box for more details. Additionally, I couldn't find any information on your website about the current firmware version or its release notes.
The web console page is: https://www.ifixit.com/fixhub/console
This is where you can browse through the current and prior firmware versions. However, I don't believe the packaged firmware (at least with CI/CD) is currently open-source at the time of writing. Yet you can see what is currently available here on GitHub: https://github.com/ifixit/fixhub (The commands here work if you're able to access the FixHub with either minicomp on Linux or PuTTY on Windows; you can determine which TTY device the FixHub is assigned to with the help of the FixHub web console, which reliably picks out the correct low-level serial device name for the FixHub.)
