Ember, Adapter EZSP protocol version, SLZB-06M

[hal2000gh]

As a message popped up today, that the ezsp driver is deprecated and followed by the ember driver I thought I give it a try.

I am using a SLZB-06M connected via LAN with radio fw 20231030 and core fw v2.5.6 (should be most recent ones, that are not dev).
My Z2M version is 1.40.2

Unfortunately I get the following error:

I'm rather novice and a bit lost. I understand that Adapter EZSP protocol version is 12 but ember requires 13 or 14, but I have no clue which component needs updating and how.
Is there anyone who can help me with this? (I currently went back to ezsp but I guess that's not futureproof.)

I have tried to search the net for the error message and I found quite a few startup issues with Z2M and the SLZB but as far as I understood these they were not the same.

Thanks
Peter

You need to update the coordinator firmware to 7.x or 8.x, see https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/emberznet.html

Thanks a lot, I got it working now. I somehow managed to totally misunderstand the firmware update page of the SLZB.
