Link to download MCU1 Apollo OS 2 below.

Want to get this tested here by a few of you since we dont have a lot of MCU1 devices left to test.

Below feedback would be appreciated:
OS detects internal board and starts up fine
OS detects and starts up external USB Standard units (both Apollo BTC or if any MCU1 owners have an Apollo II standard yet)

This includes latest v2.0.4-beta release

Reminder MCU1 controllers are Batch 1/2 Apollos with the longer GPIO pins on the board (check link below if you are not sure which you have).

My miner is crashing, and restarting every 10-20 minutes. To my feeling it's happening the moment new blocks are mined.

The node falls back a couple of hundred blocks after the restart, i.e. the current block was 838879 and the node would start syncing at 838663 again.

MCU1 board. This behaviour was also happening before, and I was hoping the upgrade would fix this.
