did you install the correct windows driver?

The point is that Sierra Wireless modem is not attached to the windows machine.
It is connected to an embedded motherboard having operating system as debian 10 linux. This motherboard is connected to my PC via serial port.
Now I want to upgrade the firmware of the modem through my PC.
Explain the required steps

Then you need to upgrade firmware by Mbpl firmware download tool MBPL\_SDK\_R48\_ENG5-fwdwl.bin.tar.gz

You can also see here on how to use it

> Thank you, that worked! For anyone that stumbles into this, the solution to load a firmware into the EM7411 is to make sure you specify BOTH the tty and cdc devices (the -d and -p flags), AND the download mode is set to 1 (the -t 1 flag). The final command is: fwdwl-litearm -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -p /dev/cdc-wdm0 -t 1 --modelfamily 4 --fwpath "./" --cwe SWI9X50C\_01.14.03.00.cwe --nvu SWI9X50C\_01.14.03.00\_TMO\_002.005\_000.nvu
