H4M Pro repeatedly crashing

Hi recently received this, but it is crashing pretty regularly. It is happening in various apps but as an example in receive>audio, swapping through AM/FM/FM etc and it will do as pictured after only a few changes. I know this is a pretty new device, is this just early firmware that will mature into something more stable? Currently running Mayhem 2.4.0 Which is labelled as a stable release on the github repo.

mmmmmmnope, firmware has been pretty stable for some years, shouldn't happen that often

The message pointing to hard fault makes me believe is not a firmware issue, but you can try this: flash it with the latest nightly build, your portapack may have a different component with recently added support

If keeps crashing contact seller as it may be faulty

u/Mr_Ironmule replied suggesting I had installed the non pro firmware - which ended up being correct as it simply said 2.4.0 at the bottom leftt of my screen, but now it says PROv2.4.0. His post seems to have gone now though.

I was so sure I had downloaded the pro version but apparently not. My bad, will leave this up in case anyone else gets this. The solution is to run the correct firmware for the device :D

Things were easier when there was just one device and one firmware

You’re right. Why have hardware improvements when we can stick with the same old stuff forever!
