Hi Aamir,

1. If you are running the MTS Network Server – Version 1.0.8 – AU915, then you also need to run the mDot firmware AU915.

2. If you are running the Lora network server – Version 1.0.8-r0.0, then you can run normal mDot firmware 1.0.8 with mbed-rtos version 111.

I am assuming that you are running MTS Network Server – Version 1.0.8 – AU915 and it was working fine with mDot-AU915 – firmware. Now you want to have the mbed online version.

If this is the case, please create a support case, so that I can attach the online mDot-1.0.8-AU915 for you.

Thanks,

BT

Hi Vijay,

ssh into your Conduit and issue the following commands:

killall pppd <–Kill pppd

microcom /dev/modem_at0 <–Talk directly to the radio

at+cpin? <–You should get ‘+CPIN:READY’, if not check your SIM to see if you have inserted it in correctly.

http://www.multitech.net/developer/products/conduit/installing-conduit-sim-card/

at+csq <–Query Signal Strength. The return will have two digits – first digit should be > 10

at+creg? <–Query to see if it is registering to home/roaming network. Should be (0,1)

at#sgact=1,1 <–You should get an IP address back, if not check with your SIM service provider to see if the account is enable..etc.

at#sgact=1,0 <–Hang up

ctrl+x <–To exit the microcom

Hi Aamir,

1. ssh into your Conduit and type:

/opt/lora/lora-network-server –version

*You should have version 1.0.8, if not please upgrade them.

Downloads

Please, choose and download the correct file for your model.

2. For the mDot, please recompile it with the mbed-rtos set to version 111. To select mbed-rtos to older version – High light the mbed-rtos on left panel and then click on revision button at the main menu bar.

Then select your revision and then click on ‘switch’ button to switch it. Look on the right panel – It should show your revision.

Recompile it and upload to the mDot and see if it helps.

Thanks,

Hi Thane,

I think you should try to setup and build the image on your PC development first.

Getting Started

Once you have successfully built it, then the next step would be how to flash the new image onto the device.

NAND Flash Programming

Thanks,

Sorry. Could you please try to copy them and put them in the notepad program or something. Then change all the double quotes to a normal double quotes. I think the web page is changing it to a weird double quotes.

Then copy the command from your notepad program and paste it into your web browser.

[Bryan Tran]

yousra mkhakh,

BTW, if it still does not work, I am assuming that you have an AEP version, you can also bring up your web browser and do a copy and paste the 3 commands below:

https://192.168.2.3/api/loraNetwork?method=PUT&data={“log”:{“syslog”:false,”path”:”/var/log/lora-network-server.log”}}

https://192.168.2.3/api/command/save?method=POST

https://192.168.2.3/api/command/restart?method=POST

Notes: Replace the IP address with your IP address

Thanks,

Hi Corentin Bourget,

Could you please try to power cycle the unit and then try the upgrade again and see if it helps ?

Thanks,

BT

[Bryan Tran]

Lawrence,

1. You could compile the source code yourself – https://developer.mbed.org/teams/MultiTech/code/MTDOT-BOX-EVB-Factory-Firmware/ – and then upload it to your mdot-BOX. You just want to make sure the following:

a. To compile it with the latest libmDot version 1.0.8. High light the libmDot folder on the left pannel and click on ‘Revision’ button, then select ‘revision 14’. Click ‘switch’ button.

b. Edit the following file to fix the issue with – at+gsdf that shows blank.

CmdGetSurveyDataFile.cpp:
————————-

int32_t CmdGetSurveyDataFile::action(std::vector<std::string> args)
{
mDot::mdot_file file;
int buf_size = 512;
char buf[buf_size];
int read = 0; //BT – Edit it right here – Initialize it with a default value of 0
int read_size;

file = _dot->openUserFile(file_name, mDot::FM_RDONLY);
if (file.fd < 0) {
setErrorMessage(“Failed to open file”);
return 1;
}
…

c. Recompile and upload it to your device.

2. Create a support portal that I can attach a bin file that I have already compiled and you just need to upload it to your device.

Hi Suryadi,

You only need to modify your /etc/network/interfaces file by adding the following line:

#Wired interface
auto eth0
….
ipaddress 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.254
post-up echo “nameserver 8.8.8.8” > /etc/resolv.conf <– Add this line – Setup to obtain a persistent DNS config on the Conduit.
…

Thanks,

BT

[Bryan Tran]

Hi Quentin,

There is a new firmware with a latest libmDot 1.0.8 version that I have attached it in your support case (5071851). Please, download and give it a try and see if it helps.

Thanks,

BT

[Bryan Tran]

Hi Thierry,

Also, when you issue the ping – omit the http:// – Try do like: ping http://www.google.com from the Conduit.

Thanks,

BT

[Bryan Tran]

Hi Thierry,

Try this and see if it helps?

Remove this line: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 194.230.55.99

Add these lines: post-up echo “nameserver 8.8.8.8″ > /etc/resolv.conf
post-up echo “nameserver 194.230.55.99″ >> /etc/resolv.conf

Thanks,

BT

Hi Suryadi,

When the Status LED is blinking, that means the unit is ready. If you connect your USB cable from the USB debug port on your Conduit to your PC, you can see what is going with your unit and once the unit is ready, it will give you a login prompt.

Thanks,

BT

Hi Dave,

Conduit:
——–

Note: Assuming the Conduit IP address is at: 192.168.2.1
Assuming the remote PC IP address is at: 192.168.2.2

1. ssh into the Conduit and go to /etc/mosquitto and modify the mosquitto.conf with the following:

#bind_address 127.0.0.1 <–Put a hash sign infront of this line to commented it out.

2. Save and exit.

3. Then type: /etc/init.d/mosquitto restart <–Restart the moquitto

Remote PC:
———-

1. Install the mosquitto software – http://mosquitto.org/download/

2. mosquitto_sub -t lora/+/+ -v -h 192.168.2.1

Then on the mDot – Send some data – You should see it shows up on your remote PC.

Thanks,

BT

[Bryan Tran]

Hi Benjamin,

Can you try what Jonathan suggested and let me know if it helps ?

Thanks,

BT

[Bryan Tran]

Hi Benjamin,

The mBed online version is setting – the ‘Public’ mode to True by default. So, try to set your /var/config/lora/lora-network-server.conf on the Conduit to True too and see if it helps.

———————————————————————
…

“network”: {
“public”: false, <–Set this to true
“leasetime”: 0, /* time until mDot join expires (minutes) or 0 for no expiration */
“name”: “my Name”,
“passphrase”: “my Pass”
}

….
——————————————————————–

And then do: /etc/init.d/lora-network-server restart

Thanks,

BT

Hi Dave,

There are many ways to do this:

a. I created a couple of examples that echo the data received back to the end node both in C++ and python. They are on github.com account.

Python:
