I'm on 4.6.1 and have no issues with the EN-EW100 or e7000 control units with my e8000 motor.

You might have the terms confused.
"E8000" is just the series, like "XT" or "SLX".
"DU-E8080" specifies the actual model number of the Drive Unit.

A majority of the e-MTBs that have the STEPS E8000 use the drive unit with the model number "DU-E8000"... but there is also a "DU-E8080" drive unit for certain locales. The only difference is that the DU-E8080 doesn't have a 20mph limit option in the stock settings.

People on this forum have been using terms like E800 motor, E7000 controller, E7000 display on a pretty regular basis. It's pretty clear what they refer too.

And? People on this forum use the word "acoustic" to describe their non E-MTBs too... and it's also wrong LOL

The firmware update specifically mentions "DU-E8080" - not just "E8000" or "E8000 motor." That's because the DU-E8080 wasn't compatible with the SC-E6100/SC-E7000/EW-EN100 until now, whereas the DU-E8000 was already compatible since firmware 4.5.1. This is why some people on this forum had no problems with the parts combos above and some people did - because those people assumed that all "E8000 motors" were the same, when they are not.

At least the E8000 series only has 2 drive unit models. The E6000 series has like... 9 different drive units.
