Firmware compatibility

This software version has been tested and validated for the following firmware releases:

• ME0 backend: r1553.241113233050+gita68fc79f-local-resets-qc7-flavors
• GEx/1 backend: r1553.241113233050+gita68fc79f-local-resets-qc7-flavors
• ME0 OptoHybrid: 230404163016+git4d2d692b-ohv2-prod
• GEx/1 OptoHybrid: r1538.240424213759+git55a3a222-relax-iserdes-crc-trig-sem-fix

Using older firmware releases is not recommended since the software is continuously adapted to the new firmware behavior and improved using newly available firmware features. Conversely, using newer firmware releases can lead to incompatibilities due to changing firmware behavior. Use with care.
