Guru Meditation Error: sqnsupgrade.info()

[Aleksandr Podgaysky]

Hello. I faced with problems while testing LTE modem on GPy. Modem is not able to find any network. I decided to update the LTE firmware but faced with problem. sqnsupgrade.info() finishes with Guru Meditation Error.

Backtrace translation is

ppp_close
/home/peter/docs/pycom-esp-idf/components/lwip/lwip/src/netif/ppp/ppp.c:326
pppapi_do_ppp_close
/home/peter/docs/pycom-esp-idf/components/lwip/lwip/src/netif/ppp/pppapi.c:372
tcpip_thread
/home/peter/docs/pycom-esp-idf/components/lwip/lwip/src/api/tcpip.c:124

Moreover, sqnspudate.run('COM','xxx,dup') freezes on "Attempting AT wakeup..." and nothing happens.

I tried to power GPy from both DC source and Li-Ion battery but behaviour was the same in both cases. How can I solve my problem and make LTE modem work?

Hi,
The issue is only with sqnsupgrade.info() (as you decoded, the closing of the ppp), and does not affect the rest of the modem operation, nor the update functionality.

Concerning your issue with sqnsupgrade.run(), could you add the debug=True flag in the command? This should give more insight in the AT commands being send. Note that you'll have to close the Pymakr connection to your Gpy.

Now the process goes successfully.

There are two files in archive provided by pycom: CATM1-5.2-48829-1.dup and CATM1-5.2-48829-2.dup. What should i do with CATM1-5.2-48829-2.dup ?

As mentioned on the LTE modem firmware update page: https://docs.pycom.io/updatefirmware/ltemodem/ the 5.2-48829 update is a two-step process. You'll first need to load file 1, and then file 2: https://docs.pycom.io/updatefirmware/ltemodem/#note-on-updating-to-cat-m1-52-48829 :)
