BX3105 Reset Issue

1

My BX3105 devboard suddenly started to respond with errors to my AT commands, when I power cycle the device and hit the reset button I received the messages below on my terra term terminal:

Rebooting…

Rebooting…

Can you please suggest how this issue can be fixed?

Hi @faridm,
It seems like the module is dumped after resetting. Have you tried to get the authentic firmware back on, by booting into the bootloader. Please refer to procedure below

  • Power off module. Place a jumper on Prog. Mode Pins to pull GPIO(27) to high (source). The position is highlighted as attached image
  • Open bootloader tool (I used Hercules tools) and press reset button on the module
  • Check ACK message, the boot loader of the module should go into communication mode. The messages like this:

rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
configsip: 0, SPIWP:0xee
clk_drv:0x00,q_drv:0x00,d_drv:0x00,cs0_drv:0x00,hd_drv:0x00,wp_drv:0x00
mode:DIO, clock div:2
load:0x3fff80c8,len:4
load:0x3fff80cc,len:152
load:0x40078000,len:0
ho 12 tail 0 room 4
load:0x40078000,len:13652
entry 0x40078b24
ÀWSIHÀ
At this point, the module enter bootload mode successfully
Untitled

Hello,

I tried your solution and unfortunately it did not work.

When I press the reset button, I see only this message: ÀWSIH ( as it is: no A at the end)

and when I try the run the device as I should, I get back some failure error and symptoms I described before.

I run this command:

C:\Users\XXX\Documents\SierraWireless_BX310X\BX310x FW Updater v2>BX31xxBlTest.exe com5 -v
-v
\.\com5
BC310x bootloader version 2.6.

Then, I tried doing a firmware upgrade, but when I try to run this command:

C:\Users\XXX\Documents\SierraWireless_BX310X\BX310x.2.7.2>BX310x.2.7.2.bin com5 -v

“I get this error: This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page”

any way I can do a firmware upgrade to solve this issue, or my device is just not usable any more?

Cheers!

Hi @faridm,
Sorry for late response.

Did you get below code before ÀWSIH?
rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
configsip: 0, SPIWP:0xee
clk_drv:0x00,q_drv:0x00,d_drv:0x00,cs0_drv:0x00,hd_drv:0x00,wp_drv:0x00
mode:DIO, clock div:2
load:0x3fff80c8,len:4
load:0x3fff80cc,len:152
load:0x40078000,len:0
ho 12 tail 0 room 4
load:0x40078000,len:13652
entry 0x40078b24
I recommend that after the module goes to bootloader mode (as the above description), FW and BX31xxBITest.exe are placed same folder as screenshot.

Then run the command

C:\Downloads\BX310x FW Updater v2\BX310x FW Updater v2>BX31xxBlTest.exe COM6 --update BX310x.2.7.2.bin

Please tell me if you have any concern
Thanks
