Mote Ii Firmware Upgrade; Step 4: Connect To The Utility - Semtech Lora Mote User Manual

2.4.1.2 Upgrade the Firmware in the LoRaMote
The LoRaMote needs to be set in bootloader mode:
• Remove its USB cable (or turn it off with the slide switch, ensuring there is no battery inside)
• Pinch the PCB-etched RF antenna
Figure 2-7: Press the Antenna to Enter Bootloader Mode
• Power-up the mote by connecting back the USB cable
• Observe the three LEDs flashing at a one second interval which indicate the platform is now in bootloader mode. If the
three LEDs are not flashing, then the process must be done again as there was an issue with the detection of the finger
on the sensor antenna
Note: if the LEDs do not flash, it is certainly because the Bootlader is not installed on the device. A binary file
"Bootloader.hex" , provided in the same directory, should be flashed onto the device. To this end, the enclosure should be
opened, and a JTAG programmer such as ST's STLink can be used

2.4.2 Mote II Firmware Upgrade

• Select the file "MoteIIConfig-eu868.bin", copy and paste it into the disk created "Mote_II"
• The LED will blink red and green alternatively, and when the upgrade is finished it will stay green
• Press the reset button
• The unit will display "Mote II"

2.5 Step 4: Connect to the Utility

The LoRaMote shall now be connected to the PC, and a Virtual Com Port will be assigned when the driver is installed.
Note: the COM port number can be looked-up from Windows Device Manager
From the Windows start menu, launch LoRaMoteConfig.exe, and select the appropriate COM port number from the List:
