Updating the device in the future
Oxford Nanopore Technologies will post a release note in the Nanopore Community when new software or updates to the device go out.
We urge users to update as soon as reasonably possible after the release has been made available.
Keep the device up-to-date with Linux security updates, in line with advice from your local IT department.
