Each version of the server has a related SBC version (or set of
versions). When you connect to a server it will make sure the SBC is at
the correct version and if not, trigger an update automatically. That's
all you should ever have to do as a normal user. But obviously, if you
move between server versions, you may get different versions of the
firmware.

If you're running prod 7.0 you'll see basically no updates. If you're
running one of the dev versions (7.0.1 or 7.1) you'll get pretty
frequent updates (often daily) even if you don't update the server
itself, because it automatically downloads and pushes SBC updates from
slimdevices. If you want to run a specific version of the firmware
you'll need to install the appropriate version of the server.

The SD card method is used when the network update is broken for some
reason, you copy the firmware image onto an SD card and stick it in the
SBC, then on the update menu there's an option to flash from that
version. Useful when a firmware bug breaks the network stack :)
