Updater Version 1.1.1 on LopY doesn't work anymore

To download higher firmware versions that are not present in the above list; use the below link with the firmware version of choice:

https://software.pycom.io/downloads/LoPy_868-1.6.7.b1.tar.gz

I am adding this here to keep downgrading related information in one place for future reference.

Hi,

I want to downgrade my LoPy. Unfortunately I get an error when running

python bin/updater.py -t LoPy_868-1.9.2.b2.tar.gz -p COM12 -s 921600

I get the error: "updater.py: error: too few arguments"
What's going wrong?

Regards
Pascal

@pjoerke Please use python bin/updater.py -t LoPy_868-1.9.2.b2.tar.gz -p COM12 -s 921600 flash

It is worth noting that LoPy4 has different firmware file from v1.13.0.b1 onwards, the diference is simply a '4' after 'LoPy'.

Hello Abilio,

If we building from git, we are getting appimg.bin, lopy_868.bin, also in upper folders bootloader.bin. and partitions bin. There is also a script file in exp32\boards <board> folder

I noticed in your LoPy868 tar file lopy_868.bin bootloader.bin partitions.bin, script and ._script files.

I can not find "._script" file. How you are generating this file?

Thank you

It'd be nice if https://software.pycom.io/downloads/ had directory listings... or better yet, create a page with all the firmwares along with release notes so we can see what has changed.

We will soon be uploading the firmware packages to: https://github.com/pycom/pycom-micropython-sigfox/releases

They are not there yet but will be soon
