There are now two different SPIKE Prime hardware versions that require two separate firmwares. In order to help troubleshoot issues, it is important to know which hardware a user has because different firmwares can have different bugs.
Internally, we have a hub variant number in the firmware that identifies different hardware versions. We should show this in the version info.
Not sure how to add it to the version tuple without breaking existing code though. Obvious solution would be to add the variant to the first string, e.g.
- Original SPIKE Prime:
'primehub:v0'
- MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor:
'primehub:v1'
- New SPIKE Prime:
'primehub:v2'
(FWIW, v0 and v1 are the same firmware, but the numbers come from the existing variant value)
And we would want something similar in the in the version popup too since those are the two ways we ask people, "which firmware do you have"?
