Creality announced on their website that all Enders are moved to 32-Bit using the Ender 3 V2 V4.2.2 board. There is also a V4.2.7 that is sold as an Accessory.

There is also new firmware for them posted on the Creality Download site.

Creates several questions:

Does this affect the Official Open Source status of Ender 3? 

What justifies the increased cost of an Ender 3 V2?

Will all the bugs found in V2 firmware now appear in Ender 3 and Ender 3 Pro?

Time will tell.

The firmware file was from Creality and was labelled Ender-3 V2_32bit_2.0.1V_Latest Firmware_0814 The bed level program was from the chepbedlevel_3.0.zip file then the folder CHEPBedlevel_2.0 and file CHEP_bed_level_print.gcode When I start it printing (from SD card) it homes, then lifts and goes to the left front corner, then lifts, and goes to the left rear corner, then lifts and goes to the right rear corner-right front-center, etc. It does not pause between corners. Is there a different file other than the one on at --> https://www.chepclub.com/uploads/9/2/9/8/9298268/chepbedlevel_3.0.zip?

I'm a bit confused where they say they're using the HR4988 driver chipset. I thought those were the standard driver chips that they've been using for a long time that are noisy? Don't you need a TMC driver to quite the stepper motors, regardless of the bit depth of the main chip?

Good catch. HR4988 are the noisy drivers. I'm a bit confused as the V4.2.2 on the V2 is suppose to be TMC drivers and they are quiet so we may not even be able to trust the version number if this is true.
