Hi,
I’m having an issue with booting an RC7611 module using a Mangoh yellow socket.
My main goal is to write the firmware image onto an SD card that can later be used to update RC7620 modules that have already been mounted onto a PCB. This is already being done today with an old firmware revision, but the process is not documented. My first step is to try to boot and update an RC7611 (the only one I have right now) with a Mangoh yellow socket.
When I put the module in the socket, cover it with the shielding and plug it into my computer, the green LED stays on (it should turn yellow and flash according to the user guide).
In Windows Device Manager, I can see a COM port being opened and closed repeatedly after a few seconds.
- Sierra Wireless DM port
- Sierra Wireless NMEA Port
- 2 Sierra Serial over Bluetooth Link
When I use the on/off switch, plug in the device when it is off and turn it on, I need to reset the board before the device boots up.
All deep switches are set to OFF and the jumper next to the USB port is set on the two pins the closest to the connector.
Attempting to upgrade the firmware:
When I set BP1 to ON and plug the device into my computer, the only open ports are:
- Sierra Wireless DM port → used for firmware update/download
- 2 Sierra Serial over Bluetooth link
I downloaded the RC76xx_Release10_SIERRA_7611.exe package from the Sierra website for the RC7611 module. I unzipped it and executed the following command:
- fdt2.exe -f RC76xx_Release10_SIERRA_7611.spk.
At first, it seems to be working, but errors occur when the module reboots.

I tried switching TP1 back to OFF when the process readched the “Flashing image” stage, but I got the same error.
I installed the drivers from source.sierrawireless.com
I don’t think the issue comes from the update process. It might be an issue with driver or Windows configuration… I’m a bit lost here.
Do I need this process to get a raw image on my SD card?
Thanks for any help!
