New LTE Firmware release v1.18.1.r3 & CAT-M1 firmware & modem updater
-
I updated the Fipy just fine. But when I try to upgrade the modem I get "Exception when checking file upgdiff_38638-to-39529.dup... wrong file name?"
I placed the file in the root of /flash. Then:
import sqnsupgrade
sqnsupgrade.run('upgdiff_38638-to-39529.dup')Also tried with upgdiff_33080-to-39529.dup with the same results.
Any ideas?

@xykon I haven't upgraded my FiPy yet, waiting on a failure-free process. To apply these upgrades do I apply BOTH the CAT-M1 and NB-Iot firmware upgrades or is it only one or the other?
Anyone?

@Xykon Just for sure, can I safely use SD card as source for differential update?
Yes the firmware can also be loaded from an SD card without problems.

Regarding new NB-IoT modem firmware which should be available during next week - are there some other improvements on top of DNS fix, especially in regards to connection stability? My experience is that long-running NB-IoT connection fails in several hours.
Yes the new firmware will also contain stability improvements.
Differential upgrade of modem firmware seems to be very interesting feature. Do you think that something similar might be possible for ESP32 Pycom firmware as well?
We're looking into this but as the technology is very different I can't make any promises at this time.

@danielm Sorry the correct packages should now be on the software server ready for download.

I am glad to find out that most of current issues should be fixed with this new release. We will start testing tomorrow as the devices are currently "frozen" at remote location.Regarding new NB-IoT modem firmware which should be available during next week - are there some other improvements on top of DNS fix, especially in regards to connection stability?

Btw, trying to download following package returns Unauthorized:
https://software.pycom.io/downloads/CATM1-39529.zipI checked latest NB-IoT firmware package and it does not contain any differential upgrade files:
