Which MangOH yellow physical pins relate to Octave ORP UART1 and UART2 ?

![ORP](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/1/1aca3dc429048b3630f8474835f62254343f2ae7.png)

I built the table below from info in [mangOH yellow](http://mangoh.io/uploaded-documents/Reference/mangOH%20Yellow/Discover/HW%20Reference%20Manual/41113116%20mangOH%20Yellow%20HW%20Guide%20-%20HTML5-Responsive%20HTML5/#t=41113116_mangOH_Yellow_HW_Guide_-_HTML5%2FHardware%2FHardware.htm)  
Is this correct?

| ORP Port Name | Connection | | Voltage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| UART 1 | Expansion Connector (CN805) | Pins 7-8 | 3V3 ? |
| UART 1 | IoT Connector (CN601) | Pins 12–15 | 1V8 ? |
| UART 2 | micro-USB (CN800) | | USB |

Also is any configuration needed to enable UART 1 and UART 2 for Octave ORP use? e.g. AT commands

Cheers  
John

Hi John,  
First does in your device detail page, the reported model is “mangoh yellow” or"unknown", if unknown you need a more recent yellow firmware

Anyway, it will work only on UART1 and no MAPUART command are needed, it will be done for you

Thanks Julien

I guess the screen grab below means I have an older Legato system image?

Which of the two versions should I use?

 ![FirmwareUpdate](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/d/d6cff37b030d92d92d505d2fe38bfa54fcdee8b2.png)

Are there any change notes for the upgrades?  
Does the upgrade erase edge javascript in the device?

I noticed in a [post](https://forum.sierrawireless.com/t/wp77xx-how-to-revert-firmware-version-back-to-factory-release-version/18625/5) by Thibault that there is a mangOH Yellow Software Image release available [mangOH Yellow Software Image](https://mangoh.io/mangoh-yellow-resources-software).  
There doesn’t appear to be any version information available on the page or an indication that the .spk image supports Octave - is this image suitable for use with mangOH + Octave + WP7702 ?  
Which Octave version is this image?  
The image file name is this

```auto
yellow_wp77xx_0.3.0.spk

```

Cheers

John

Hi @johnofleek I accidentally upgraded to version 2.1.0 and regretted it as it does not support the out the box functionality that newbies like me needed. After a long struggle I rolled back to version 1.0 using yellow\_wp77xx\_0.3.0.spk. The model name in mine shows as “MangOH Yellow”

You can get the steps to do a fresh install of your Yellow for Octave here: [https://docs.octave.dev/docs/getting-started-with-the-mangoh-yellow](https://docs.octave.dev/docs/getting-started-with-the-mangoh-yellow)

Latest Yellow firmware for Octave also available here: [https://mangoh.io/mangoh-yellow-resources-software](https://mangoh.io/mangoh-yellow-resources-software)

The answer is (at the moment)

UART1 is supported by Octave Edge ORP

On the mangOH yellow you can use either

| ORP Port Name | Connection | | Voltage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| UART 1 | Expansion Connector (CN805) | Pins 7-8 | 3V3 |
| UART 1 | IoT Connector (CN601) | Pins 12–15 | 1V8 |

But be very careful with CN805 as the level shifter used is a Fairchild / ON FXMA108 - this part is only compatible with insulated gate logic i.e MOS. If you connect anything which sinks or sources current the circuit may malfunction.

From the datasheet
