enable ECM by AT!USBCOMP=1,1,8010D then you can copy your spk/firware image using scp - scp xxx.spk [root@192.168.2.2](mailto:root@192.168.2.2):/tmp Then use- fwupdate download firmware.spk This will flash the firmware ---

You can send file to specific module also Enable ECM only on required module by AT!USBCOMP=1,1,8010D… Then you can see only one usb0 with 192.168.2.3 … Then you can ssh and scp to [root@192.168.2.2](mailto:root@192.168.2.2) To disable ECM AT!USBCOMP=1,1,10D ---

Hi @vitthal.agav , Sorry, because I’m new to WP series, Can you specify more detail about it? What’s is timing of firmware upgrade in your description? Should I need to install any 3rd software? I’m using buildroot to build up a linux router Thanks! ---

Hello fashionshow0, I suppose you are using Linux operating system. make sure you have installed drivers for WP provided by Sierra by default - you would get /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 and /dev/ttyUSB2 if you plug in the modem. /dev/ttyUSB2 is your AT command interface. ( you can get minicom application for running the AT commands) I also assume you are using only one WP module in you linux. if so, check your ifconfig, if you see usb0 with 192.168.2.3 then you are ready to ssh/scp. if not, once you are able to execute AT commands, fire below AT commands AT!ENTERCND=“password” AT!USBCOMP=1,1,8010D AT!RESET after this you modem will reboot and you would see the usb0 (192.168.2.3) in ifconfig. then you can scp your firmware file as I mentioned in last reply. and run fwupdate comand as below fwupdate download firmware\_file that’s it, your module will be flashed in a while. no other/ third party applicaiton is required except minicom ( to run AT command) if you have any other applicaiton that is also fine. Best luck! Vitthal ---

Hi @vitthal.agav , Thanks for the reply! And all assumption in my environment could be applied, But two more question, 1. Where the fwupdate come from? Does it called fwupd now? 2. Should I use legato before? Because I’m not using it on our platform Because I saw the link below on gitHub ([GitHub - rhboot/fwupdate: System firmware update support for UEFI machines](https://github.com/rhboot/fwupdate)) And also in my case, I have to compile fwupdate/fwupd by myself Thanks! ---

fwupdate is already in the modem, you have to first ssh into [root@192.168.2.2](mailto:root@192.168.2.2) then you can execute this. Legeto is not required. ---

Hi @vitthal.agav, Got it and really appreciate! please correct me if I’m wrong So the following operation is for setup the ssh password for module `AT!ENTERCND=“password” AT!USBCOMP=1,1,8010D AT!RESET` And Also when I ssh into WP7607 and run `fwupdate download $fw_filename` it will grab firmware file from `/tmp` automatically?
