New FX30s - Problem Downloading Custom Firmware Image

eddie435 · October 26, 2023, 2:59pm

Hi All,

We recently purchased new FX30S modems with the latest firmware on them. I used Leaf to recompile our apps on the same firmware level (R15.1.0.004) so we can download to the new FX30S.

These are the commands I use to compile and build the new image file:

mksys -t wp77xx FX30S_Cell.sdef
systoimg wp77xx FX30S_Cell.wp77xx.update BuildFiles
swicwe -o FX30S_Cell.spk -c <GenericFull.spk> <legato.cwe>

These work well and I’m able to create the firmware image with our apps, but when I download the file to the modem it fails.

I have tried downloading the file from my linux development VM, from my Window PC, and also I copied directly to the modem and tried “fwupdate download MyAppfile.spk”

The download always fails. See below:

is it OK to compile and download the legato image with “make wp77xx”?

eddie435 · October 26, 2023, 3:57pm

I’m not familiar with how to do that.

If I use the command “update myapp.wp77xx.update 192.168.2.2” it works.

But when I download it as an image file that I created, then it fails.

Is anybody else having this same problem with the latest FX30S modem with firmware version R15.1.0.004 and downloading a custom full image?
This is the error I’m getting:

Also, if I try downloading from my Ubuntu18 environment with fwupdate, it also fails.

I can successfully build my custom full generic image and download it to my older FX30S (R14.1.1.002) with no problem at all.

Thanks

If you directly jump to custom image, it is hard to isolate different factors like fw change, tool problem or image problem

I just compiled the legato image by “make wp77xx” from leaf package swi-wp77_6.0.1 which is for R15.1, no problem is found to download to WP77 modue, you can have a try on my image.
legato.cwe (7.0 MB)

Legato version is changed like this:

I haven’t tried loading your image fill yet. I’ll try it here shortly.
Any clues on what’s happening above?

jyijyi · October 30, 2023, 2:00pm

If you type 2nd time “make wp77xx”, is it failed on same error?

eddie435 · October 30, 2023, 2:15pm

Yes, the response is the same.

jyijyi · October 30, 2023, 2:32pm

see if this helps by installing cmake

eddie435 · October 30, 2023, 4:01pm

Installing cmake worked and I successfully ran “make wp77xx”.

I also successfully downloaded the legato-squashfs.ubi.cwe to my FX30S modem with the “swiflash -m wp77xx -i legato-squashfs.ubi.cwe” command.

How do I now add my custom apps to the firmware image?

Thanks.

jyijyi · October 30, 2023, 4:06pm

you can see here as example:

eddie435 · October 30, 2023, 5:31pm

I think my problem is the legato max partition size. After creating the image, my legato-squashfs.ubi.cwe file goes to 10.2MB, and your example says max size is 8MB.

Is there a way to get around this problem?

My app doesn’t change from R14.1.1.002 to R15.1.0.004, but I see the legato-squashfs.ubi.cwe file go from 8.7MB to 10.2MB

jyijyi · October 30, 2023, 5:39pm

You need to contact distributor to get a tool to resize partition

Another way is you install the .update file bu"update xxx.update", it would then install in userapp partition

eddie435 · October 30, 2023, 6:42pm

I have successfully installed the update file and tested my apps successfully. The reason I wanted to create an image file is because if the FX30S default to the factory settings, I want my app to also be restored. I don’t any other way to accomplish that.

jyijyi · October 30, 2023, 11:52pm

Then you need to contact distributor to get a tool to resize partition by using at!partition command

eddie435 · October 31, 2023, 1:40pm

Is there anyway to make the legato image smaller? For example, I don’t use the wifi services at all. Could I just remove all those related files?

jyijyi · October 31, 2023, 1:42pm

You can make some test, i never try this
