Rob,

that's great news, and I'm happy you're unstuck! I'm still not entirely
sure what the exact reason is for this is, but here's a short analysis:

On the N310, we use an architecture where a piece of software called
'MPM' runs on the device and handles most of the device-specific
controls. Sometimes we need to fix bugs in MPM, which is a little more
annoying than fixing bugs in UHD because it's a bit harder to update.
However, whenever we change something which *requires* you to update
MPM, we will bump a compat number.
It looks like we made a change that would have required a compat number
update, but we missed that and didn't change the compat number. The end
result is that UHD 3.12 continued to happily work with MPM 3.11, but
really shouldn't have. This explains why your 3.11 UHD was fine (because
the device was running MPM 3.11), but your UHD 3.12 was only fine when
you only updated MPM.

Like I said, we normally would force users to upgrade by changing the
compat number, which we didn't in this case. However, when issues like
this pop up, a good thing to try is to update your SD card image. You
don't have to remove the SD card in most cases, you can use our
Mender-based workflow (see here:

Cheers,
Martin
