[atlas] RIPE Atlas V1 Probe Issue

Hello all,

Due to an unfortunate bug in a recently released probe firmware (version 4760), a number of RIPE Atlas V1 probes are not currently able to connect to the network. The bug leads to excessive memory fragmentation which impacts that V1 probes because they have no MMU and only 8 MByte worth of memory. 

For reasons that are not yet clear, the issue has only affected well below half of the V1 probes. We are working on a new firmware that will correct this issue, but probes that will not connect will need to be returned to the RIPE NCC in order for the fix to be carried out. Once the new firmware is ready, users can either return their V1 probes to us to be fixed, or request a V3 probe instead.

Thank you to Wilfred Woeber for reporting this and requesting an update on the current issue with the V1 probes.

Cheers,
Alun Davies
RIPE NCC
