How to update the RC7620 firmware with "qmi-update-firmware"

Didn’t here show ttyusb0 is created?

qcserial 1-1.1:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected
usb 1-1.1: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Btw, do you need to use sudo to run the program?

Yes, but where ?
in the folder “/dev” nothing.

Not use sudo.
everything is managed at “root” level.

How did you enter at!boothold then?
You should use /dev/ttyUSB2, right?

Yes, I use /dev/ttyUSB2 to enter AT!BOOTHOLD.
When the modem start up, ttyUSB0,ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2 are available.
But, after AT!BOOTHOLD nothing more

Strange, dmesg shows it is created …

How about directly running the app without sending at!boothold?

Ok, Here is the result

# ./fwdwl-litearm -m 4 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -p /dev/cdc-wdm0 -t 1 -f

I don’t use udev on my embedded target.
I use mdev

Can you install it???

it is very complicated.
I have to get the sources, compile them for my target and do the installation manually.
I think the problem comes from a bad usb enumeration when the modem goes into BOOTHOLD mode.
I’ll look into this.

I think, I understand the problem.
I have an asynchronism with “mdev” and the /dev/ttyUSB0 is destroyed just after being initialized.

The last test.

Many thanks for your important help.
sorry if my English is not perfect. it is not my native language.
Now I just have to automate it.

so do you use the following?

  1. AT!BOOTHOLD
  2. ./fwdwl-litearm -m 4 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -p /dev/cdc-wdm0 -t 1 -f /usr/wit/applic/update/

Yes, this is exactly the commands used

Hello jyijyi,

I can’t find the information to know when the “fwdwl-litearm” operation is successfully completed.
it’s for the automatic update

Do you have an idea?

I have attached the log of the update.
fwdwl.zip (2.1 KB)

Thank you for your help
See you soon
JFT

from your previous log, I can see the following:

*FW download succeeded.*
*Waiting for modem to come up in ONLINE mode …*
*Modem is now in ONLINE mode …*

Hello jyijyi,

these messages are not systematic.
In the log file attached to the exchange previously, (fwdwl.zip) these messages are not present and the update is still correct.

Is there any other information provided by “fwdwl-litearm” that can be used automatically ?

Thank you for your help
See you soon
JFT

you can check the source code in the MBPL
\MBPL_SDK_R20_ENG4-lite.bin\SampleApps\lite-fw-download\src

Hello jyijyi

I am trying to upgrade the firmware of RC7620 module, and it exits with error 100.
Where as when same process is followed with EM7421 module, it works smoothly and firmware is upgraded.

Any particular reason behind this?
where are all the error codes listed?

Did you enter at!boothold ?

Have you tried swiflash?
