Hey I had some issues with the Apollo2. After a week of running fine, the system wouldn't come awake when logging in so i had to turn it off by switch. It came back and had more freezing issues so I attempt to flash the sd with v2.0.5 mcu2. But Etcher gives an error message when I try to flash, "Attention Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted. Can't configure or trim a source that is not randomly readable, skipping".  Any info on this error would be great.

It's an issue with etcher, download the previous version linked in the flash guide on the support page.

Verified I was using the linked version, balenaEtcher-1.18.11.dmg. Downloaded both etcher and mcu2 again to be sure. Unfortunately still getting the same error message from etcher when attempting flash.

Have you tried a second microsd card?

I got a second memory card programmed that fine and system is running stable. 

I had more problems with the supplied microsd card.  Maybe the card is old. Only 16GB. The newer card has more memory and is much faster than the original supplied microsd card.
