Our work-in-progress PineTime Companion App for Android and iOS now talks to PineTime over Bluetooth LE to fetch and display the firmware versions. Find out how we use the Bloc Library to manage state in the Flutter app.

Good to see this, thanks.

In this context does 'firmware' just mean the bootloader, or does it include wasp-os, riot-os or whatever? I thought it was the latter, but having just the version number but no name suggests the former.

Thanks :-) Yes the version number should eventually include the name of the firmware too.

The fields defined by the MCUBoot Bootloader are quite limited, but we'll find some way to include the name of the firmware. Maybe in the TLV Area (key-value store).
