swiflash (version 5.3) Ubuntu 20.04
mango@mango-OptiPlex-3050:~/GHS_Qt$ swiflash -f -m “wp77xx” -p /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Sierra_Wireless__Incorporated_Sierra_Wireless_WP7702_a841eb8b-if0 -i /home/mango/GHS_Qt/GHS_Full_firmware_001.spk
PORT not found: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Sierra_Wireless__Incorporated_Sierra_Wireless_WP7702_a841eb8b-if0
I also tried with /dev/ttyUSB0
Invalid PORT: /dev/ttyUSB0
PORT must be a path in the /dev/serial/ folder OR an existing USB bus/port
how about just this ?
swiflash -m "wp77xx" -i /home/mango/GHS_Qt/GHS_Full_firmware_001.spk
That works,
But this is for production so we want to do multiple modules at the same time
will you consider to use windows for multiple devices download?
Maybe but there was issues with some other tools so swiched to linux.
I have not testes but what happens if multiple modules are connected and swiflash is started without -p ?
I don’t see problem to specify the port:
owner@ubuntu:~$ swiflash -m "wp76xx" -i /home/owner/Desktop/WP76xx_Release16.0.1_GENERIC.spk -p /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Sierra_Wireless__Incorporated_Sierra_Wireless_WP7607_VN73048508010300-if00-port0

Seems you miss the port0 at the last part when you specify the path
I added a second module, i could see i missed a "0-port0’ at the end,
swiflash -f -m “wp77xx” -i /home/mango/GHS_Qt/GHS_Full_firmware_001.spk -p /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Sierra_Wireless__Incorporated_Sierra_Wireless_WP7702_18f04b10-if00-port0 -p /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Sierra_Wireless__Incorporated_Sierra_Wireless_WP7702_a841eb8b-if00-port0

have you tried to enter AT!BOOTHOLD first?
I just tried to enter AT!BOOTHOLD, after that it is OK to dowload FW by swiflash:
owner@ubuntu:~$ swiflash -m "wp76xx" -i /home/owner/Desktop/WP76xx_Release16.0.1_GENERIC.spk -p /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Sierra_Wireless__Incorporated_Sierra_Wireless_WP7607_VN73048508010300-if00-port0

BTW, you can also try MBPL fwdwl application to download FW:
fwdwl application can be downloaded here:
https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/software/mbpl/mbpl-software-latest/
Thanks! i will try and look at the MBPL
I tried the AT!BOOTHOLD on both devices, but same result.
swiflash -m “wp77xx” -i /home/mango/GHS_Qt/GHS_Full_firmware_001.spk -p /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Sierra_Wireless__Incorporated_Sierra_Wireless_WP7702_AT32365056071007-if00-port0 -p /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Sierra_Wireless__Incorporated_Sierra_Wireless_WP7702_AT32365056151007-if00-port0

I also tried the.
sudo ./fwdwl-litehostx86_64 -f ~/GHS_Qt/ -s GHS_Full_firmware_001.spk
Application version: 1.0.2303.0
Device info unknown. Either no device or multiple devices are found. Application terminates.
i experimented with different -d -p settings one or both devices,
but all i get is “Unable to locate the device or determine device mode.”
does fwdwl-litehostx86_64 support multiple devices like swiflash ?
Does it work on single device?
Same response with only one device connected (still in BOOTHOLD mode)
sudo ./fwdwl-litehostx86_64 -f ~/GHS_Qt/ -s GHS_Full_firmware_001.spk

Seems you did not follow the parameters here
Why no port is specified here
I installed the usb driver and got a different result

Not sure what it’s complaining about ?
I dont have a “-p /dev/cdc-wdm0”
I have tried the following to flash FW to two module connected to linux PC at the same time:

If you are using fwdwl application in boot and hold mode, you need to add “-c QMI” parameter:
owner@ubuntu:~/QMI/MBPL/MBPL_SDK_R32_ENG2-fwdwl.bin/SampleApps/lite-fw-download$ sudo ./bin/fwdwl-litehostx86_64 -c QMI -m 4 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -f /home/owner/Desktop/FW_WP76/
