What version is my Bullet? and WHERE to I look/reference this?

I would like to update and do not want to mess it up and create a towertop brick.  
It's been a few years and I do not remember which version it is exactly.  

And trying to identify what I have from the available information and other posts I have found so far is not working.  

Where do I get this information and how can I know I am getting the right version firmware for what I have?  

THANKS!

take a look at  http:/

take a look at  http://localnode.local.mesh:8080/cgi-bin/sysinfo.json
Look under the "node_details" section for "board_id".    What does it show?
I suspect that is it an 0xe202 which is an Bullet M2 (XM) based device.

I have a Bullet M2 HP what firmware should I use?

Hello,

I have a original M2 Bullet HP in the box that has not ever been flashed with AREDN firmware, is there still a version that I can use?

Hi, Dan:

"is there still a version that I can use?"
Likely, yes.

'original' is not used in defining the 3 models of Bullet M2s.

If you power up the device with its current OS, it may display information
indicating that it has 'XM' or 'XW' hardware.

Thanks Chuck,

I went through the steps to factory reset the Bullet M2 HP, and after figuring out how to get my browser to support TLS 1.0/1.1, I logged into the web interface.

The firmware is XM.v5.5.8




So, am I good to attempt to load --> aredn-3.22.8.0-ath79-generic-ubnt_bullet-m-squashfs-factory.bin 



Thanks for your help.

"So, am I good to attempt to load --> aredn-3.22.8.0-ath79-generic-ubnt_bullet-m-squashfs-factory.bin "

AFAICT, Yes.
