Hello Jason,

Thanks, finally found at http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/using-mlinux/flashing-mlinux-firmware-for-conduit/, downloaded uImage and rootfs 3.3.13 and flashed according to the procedure “Detailed step” => My system has not been flashed at all.

So tried with uBoot, I have set up all the env variables and I’m using a TFTP server we use for other devices (so i know it’s ok on this part). Run krb but impossible to load file from the TFTP server….

U-Boot> run krb
macb0: PHY present at 0
macb0: link up, 100Mbps full-duplex (lpa: 0xc5e1)
Using macb0 device
TFTP from server 10.38.96.10; our IP address is 10.38.96.1
Filename ‘oe_uImage.bin’.
Load address: 0x20000000

Tried to ping my TFTP server, respond when it is my PC but not from the Conduit:

U-Boot> ping 10.38.96.10
macb0: PHY present at 0
macb0: link up, 100Mbps full-duplex (lpa: 0xc5e1)
Using macb0 device
ping failed; host 10.38.96.10 is not alive

=> Is it possible I have some hardware issues on this Conduit, on the Ethernet port ?

Thanks for your help,
Joel

Hi Jason,

Thanks for reply, I guess you mean this page : “http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/lora/conduit-mlinux-convert-to-basic-packet-forwarder/” ? That’s a little bit poor…

I have tried to follow it, but it is not successful. When starting the packet forwarder (/etc/init.d/lora-packet-forwarder start), it seems to start but I’m not sure… which binary should be visible using the ps command ?

root@mtcdt:~# /etc/init.d/lora-packet-forwarder start
Found MTAC-LORA-868 with MTAC-LORA-1.0 hardware
Starting lora-packet-forwarder: OK

In fact I really wonder about the default installation of the Conduit: I have connected my computer to the Ethernet port, set up with static IP address. Impossible to ping the PC, impossible to ping the Conduit. Impossible to open an SSH session whereas it is said it is possible… I have sometimes the network interface up/down in the console, I don’t know why…. Finally set up with dhcp on my LAN, but how udhcpc can be launched ? Network always up/down in this configuration… not stable at all.

Version of my Conduit :

root@mtcdt:~# cat /etc/mlinux-version
mLinux 3.3.6
Built from branch: (detachedfromf4f803d)
Revision: f4f803d9bdab9aece5b101496cad97710f920246

So I was thinking to flash the Conduit with the factory installation. I’m familiar with Yocto but impossible to build because IT restrictions …. 🙁 🙁 🙁 destiny is against me!

=> Any place I can get a full factory image of the Conduit with Ethernet working, SSH set up, packet forwarder inside, just with LORAWAN configuration to be finalized ?

Thanks for your help to every body,

Joel
