WIO Tracker 1110 software outdated

Has anyone figured out how to update their LR1110 to the v4.x firmware and how to update the Wio software to the LBM v4.x version?
I bought this thing expecting it to make it easy to try the LR1110 out but no, first I have to figure out how to update everything. v4 has very significant upgrades, such as being able to decode almanac data as well as produce 2D fixes.
Very disappointed.

Welcome… Take a ;
look here on the forum… i believe this issue has been addressed here… PS what is a LR1110

are you talking about this device?

The radio chip in the Wio Tracker 1110 is a Semtech LR1110.

Did you find the Seeed GitHub with the LR1110 examples? There is a firmware version read / updater there. It did not compile when I tried and I entered an issue against that. I’m sure it can be made to work, I just didn’t do it myself yet.

Yes, I did see the repos, I have not gotten into the updater. What’s needed is an application to load the new firmware and updated libraries that interface with this new firmware (a number of firmware commands have changed). So I’ve focused on updating the libraries for starters…

So… with the fix detailed in Firmware updater not compiling · Issue #25 · Seeed-Studio/Wio_Tracker_1110_Examples · GitHub I managed to update the lr1110 to firmware 0x0401!
Now I still need to update the driver library…

Awesome! thanks for the update … on the update…lol

FYI, I spent a day trying to port the new version of the LBM library but that turned into too much of a nightmare for me. So I’ve switched to using RadioLib. The Gnss scanning is not fully implemented but there seems to be enough to get started, and it’s a nice simple clean codebase.

wow… you can post what you did here as a blog so you can remember what you did…lol thats what i do

Did you find the newer bootloader?

Has an update for some of the Seeed targets with 0.9.1 / 0.9.2 bootloaders. That’s one of the pieces I started with.

There’s a firmware updated that can make UF2 files here: GitHub - The-little-Milk-v-computer/lr1110_fw_updater: This repository contains LR1110 modem fw updater for Meshtastic LR11xx boards

Be careful with this… this is just the factory erase uf2 for some boards (T1000-E and Wii Tracker.)
