Updating Smartsolar 150/100 to firmware 1.54 ?

Hello everyone, I am asking myself if I will update the smartsolar MPPT 150/100 MC4 from firmware 1.50 to 1.54. My concerns are related to a possible crash and also issues commented by other users with FW. 1.54.

I am not currently in my residence country and locked here up to May 2021. My setup is currently working fine, I just updated the Cerbo GX to 2.62, and the BMV-700 to 3.11, but the key is the MPPT which produces all the power for the battery bank.

Being far away, I do have some doubts about the stability of the firmware, and the risk of crashing the MPPT during the firmware update through the Cerbo GX.

Any advices from Victron Staff would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time and help.

Michel.

PS: I am not a newbie using firmwares and trained updating servers, routers, etc

If your system is running fine without any problems and you have concerns just don't do it.
Is there an improvement or bug-fix you need in your system?:

Hi Matthias, thanks for the answer and log file. I'll wait being back to Spain in order to proceed. Currently the systen is working fine, so no real reasons to touch it, unless having the latest FW. installed.
