As RV 8.5.x has already been expired since Jun 30, 2023 (Support Policy for RV 8.5.x), hence many customer are upgrading RV to RV 8.6.x

RV 8.6.x and HKBW6 6.7.2 are compatible with:
- BW 6.7.0 HF8 or above (see AMBW-47668 in readme of BW6.7.0 HF8)
- BW 6.8.1 HF3 or above (see AMBW-47906 in readme of BW6.8.1 HF3)
- BW 6.9.x

Using the BW versions mentioned above with lower RV versions (8.5.x, 8.4.x) may result in the WARNING below in Hawk.log, and appnode microagent will fail to add the hawkagent. (See BW appnode microagent not visible)
Example:
