Introduction

This user guide introduces Murata LoRa Pico Gateway Transceiver Module called Type1QM and how to set up the adapter board. The host interface which the module supports includes USB and UART.

Type1QM is a multi-channel high performance transceiver designed to simultaneously receive several LoRa packets using random spreading factors. This design is for USA/Australia 915 MHz ISM band [902 MHz

- 928 MHz]

Hardware presentation

The adapter board can be used to easily evaluate Type1QM via the host interface. The adapter board brings USB and UART signals, power supply, and some control signals from 10pin cable to mini USB connector and other connectors.

Type1QM connects adapter board with 10 pins cable and 2 pins power cable.

Firmware in Type1QM

• Test firmware which can be verify electrical performance

is preprogrammed in Type1QM.

• The following slides provide how to update the firmware

in Type1QM.

NOTE: Only Test firmware is programmed in our production line. Customers must update the FW which is released by Semtech formally.

Enter DFU mode in Linux

• Enter DFU mode in Linux (SW method)

– lsusb

ttyACM0 is the serial port device under

– cd ~/lora-net/picoGW_hal/util_boot – ./util_boot –d /dev/ttyACM0 – lsusb

/dev, which is created after inserting the USB able. It maybe different on your platform.

• Start FW update:

– sudo /usr/local/bin/dfu-util –a 0 –D ~/lora-

net/picoGW_mcu/bin/PGW_new.dfu

The path and name of the fw file to be flashed, can be different on your platform.

The ST-Linker Tool – HW & SW

• When customers want to update the firmware, the

following tools can be used

– HW: STM32 ST-LINK (http://www.st.com/en/development-

tools/st-link-v2.html) or compatible

– SW: STM32 ST-LINK utility should be used to download the

firmware. (http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embeddedsoftware/development-tool-software/stsw-link004.html)

DFU mode

• In case that customers don’t have ST-linker and

can not upgrade firmware with this method, DFU mode can be used. There are two ways to enter DFU mode.

– Option in PicoGW_UI (SW method) – Boot0 pin (HW method)

22 March 2018

22

How to enter DFU mode (software method)

1. Install on Windows PC PicoGW_UI v1.0.1 (available from Semtech)

2. Connect the module to PC via USB

3. Install STM virtual COM driver.

4. Execute PicoGW-UI.exe

5. Select options from menu.

6. Click Start in DFU mode (right-top picture).

 The module will reboot into DFU mode.

7. In the device manager (right-bottom picture).

 “STM Device in DFU mode” will appear

22 March 2018

23

How to Enter DFU mode – HW Method (1)

In case there is no ST-linker tool and the module does not have a valid/working FW loaded, following the steps here can put the module into DFU mode.

The pictures below show the location of the Boot0 pin of the MCU

• Boot0 = 0 when power up, normal working mode (default mode)

• Boot0 = 1 when power up, module into DFU mode

This pad is Boot0 signal

This pad is

3.3V

22 March 2018

24

How to Enter DFU mode – HW Method (2)

1. Before power up the module, connect the 3.3V and Boot signal as following picture using iron nipper or other conduct line.

2. Power up the module, then “STM Device in DFU mode” will appear in the device manager.

3. After the module enters DFU mode, remove iron nipper or conduct line used in #1 above.

25

How to update MCU FW in DFU

1. Install ST DfuSe Demo tool in PC and open it.

• The tools is available from Semtech

2. Choose new MCU firmware and click upgrade.

3. The MCU firmware will be updated.

FCC Caution (1)

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's

authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause

harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 25cm between the radiator & your body.

The module is limited to OEM installation ONLY. This module is intended for OEM integrators under the following conditions:

This module is restricted to installation in products for use only in mobile and fixed applications. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 25 cm from all persons. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not transmit simultaneously with any other antenna or transmitter.

The OEM integrator is still responsible for

ensuring that the end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install module the FCC compliance requirement of the end product, which integrates this module. Appropriate measurements (e.g. 15 B compliance) and if applicable additional equipment authorizations (e.g. Verification, Doc) of the host device to be addressed by the integrator/manufacturer. The separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to Part 2.1093 and different antenna configurations

FCC Caution (2)

Guidance to the Host Manufacturer:

We hereby acknowledge our responsibility to provide guidance to the host manufacturer in the event that they require assistance for ensuring compliance with the Part 15 Subpart B requirements. The host manufacturer is responsible for additional testing to verify compliance as a composite system. When testing the host device for compliance with the Part 15 Subpart B requirements, the host manufactureris required to show compliance with the Part 15 Subpart B while the transmitter module(s) are installed and operating. The modules should be transmitting and the evaluation should confirm that the module’s intentional emissions are compliant (i.e. fundamental and out of band emissions) with the Radio essential requirements.The host manufacturer must verify that there are no additional unintentional emissions other than what is permitted in the Part 15 Subpart B or emissions are complaint with the Radio aspects.

The user manual of the end product should include

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. the restriction of operating this device in indoor could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 25cm between the radiator & your body. The FCC part 15.19 statement: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Label of the end product:

The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following " Contains TX FCC ID: G95LORMOD01". The end product shall bear the following 15.19 statement: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. If the labelling area is considered too small and therefore it is impractical (smaller than the palm of the hand) to display the compliance statement, then the statement may be placed in the user manual or product packaging.
