LoRaMote Demo Software
The LoRaMote is normally delivered fully programmed and is ready to be used. While the current
software is still being worked on, it is already an advanced snapshot of the LoRaMote capability.
The current implementation is based around the LoRaMAC which takes all its values when operated in
conjunction with LoRa Gateway and LoRa Server (a simple LoRa receiver can nevertheless be used to
receive the LoRaMote packets).
5.1 Updating the LoRaMote Firmware
Depending of the version of the software programmed in the LoRaMote, or if the software has been
corrupted, it may be necessary to re-flash the platform using a JTAG programmer.
5.1.1 Programming the LoRaMote through the JTAG connector
Semtech provide an updater which can operate either with the Raisonance R-Link or with the standard
STM ST-Link. In both case, the process is the following.
-
Download the .zip file “LoRaMote-eu868-fw-Updater.zip” from the Semtech website or from
the Semtech IoT server (iot.semtech.com)
-
Make sure the platform is powered down
-
Connect the debugger though the standard 20-pin header (se figure 1 for the location)
-
Power-up the LoRaMote
-
From the downloaded file, execute “update.bat” and the following window will appear.
The user is here requested to enter the debugger used to program the LoRaMote: either an ST-Link or an
R-Link.
