After upgrading to LC29HBANR11A06S_CSA4, the module works normally and boots successfully.

However, QGNSS Tool shows SN: Not Found.

The boot log contains the following messages:

  • there has repeat id !!!

  • partition table1 init fail: -5

  • bl_fota_partition_table_init fail: 0xd0

  • total_partition_number = 0x0

  • Not Found, partition_type:16

The firmware version and module information are displayed correctly, but only the serial number is missing.

Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue with the CSA4 firmware or the partition table?

Hi @maeam can you try to run this command:

$PQTMSN*05 //To query the SN code.

Note: This is to test if the FW able to detect the SN or not. Also take note that on LC29HBA expected not able to get the SN as this command only supported for LC29H(AA) and LC79H(AL) module.

Best regards.

Thank you for your clarification regarding the PQTMSN command.

I understand that PQTMSN is not supported on the LC29HBA.

I have a few additional questions regarding the firmware update and boot log.

  1. During firmware upgrade, the update fails when using 921600 bps with the following messages:
ag3335_sync_with_Da serial_read 0x5A69 fail
ag3335_upgrade sync_with_Da error
qgnss_flash upgrade fail, ret:[-1]

However, the upgrade completes successfully when using 115200 bps.

Is this expected, or should 921600 bps also work on the LC29HBA?

  1. After upgrading to LC29HBANR11A06S_CSA4, the module boots successfully and works normally, but the following messages appear during boot:
FOTA state read error: 0xff
Not Found, partition_type:16
partition table1 init fail: -5
upgrade_flag :0
Jump to addr 0x8013000
LC29HBANR11A06S_CSA4

The firmware upgrade completed successfully, and the module operates normally.

Could you please confirm:

  • Are these boot messages expected?

  • Is it safe to continue using the module with these messages?

  1. I understand that PQTMSN is not supported on the LC29HBA.

Is it also normal that QGNSS Tool displays “SN: Not Found” for the LC29HBA, or should the serial number be available in the GUI?

Thank you.

Hi, Mohamad Firdaus,

Firstable, thank you for your help. Nevertheless, I still have problem:

I am using the LC29HBA module for an RTK rover application with the Brazilian IBGE NTRIP service (RBMC-IP).

Current Situation:

  • Firmware version: LC29HBANR11A07S_CSA4

  • Connection: NTRIP connects successfully (HTTP/1.1 200 OK)

  • Problem: The receiver remains in GPS fix mode (fix=1) and never achieves RTK Float (5) or RTK Fix (4), even with over 25 satellites and good HDOP.

  • I have already confirmed the Rover mode command ($PQTMCFGRCVRMODE,W,1*2A) is accepted.

So, based on reports from other users with similar issues on the A07S firmware, I would like to request the LC29HBANR11A06S_CSA4 firmware package. This version appears to be more stable for RTK applications with the IBGE network.

Could you please provide the download link or send the package to my email?

Thank you,

HI,

My current firmware is LC29HBANR11A02S_CSA2 (2023/05/09).
I would prefer the latest CSA2 firmware, as my intended applications are high-precision RTK positioning while walking, cycling, or using the receiver for stationary surveying.
Could you please confirm whether CSA2 is also suitable for pedestrian use, particularly regarding dead reckoning?
I would also appreciate the latest compatible firmware and flashing instructions.

thank you for your support

Yes I have received and successfully flashed the new firmware. Thanks!

Hi @No_S ,
