=Bootloader Info=

The bootloader isn't updated automatically by the FireBrick - it's just the software - this is by design.

The bootloader seldom changes.

You can manually upgrade the bootloader if you like - but unless there are new features that are useful, then there is often no need.

The bootloader version does get updated with each software release, even if there are no actual changes. The release notes will say if there are changes to the bootloader though.
