Hi,

I am trying to upgrade firmware of EC20 module, but it is failing.
Same process is working on EC25 module
Following is the log

From the log, it seems that the Firmware you used is not compatible with module.
Could you show the IMEI of the EC20?

The module is EC20CEFILG but you flashed it with the EC20CEFAG.
Of course you cannot flash it.
Could you tell me the current firmware of the EC20CEFILG?

5

current version is EC20CEFILGR06A07M1G
EC20CEFAGR06A16M4G was provided to us by local distributer
I will try to get correct firmware version and re-flash
thank you Bean Wang

Please try the EC20CEFILGR06A13M1G I sent. Do not reply in Message.

I could upgrade the firmware to EC20CEFILGR06A13M1G
is this the final firmware, I want to upgrade to latest firmware to get XLAT functionality
but that command is not working in this version.

below are the command output

AT+GMR
EC20CEFILGR06A13M1G

OK
AT+QCFG=“clat”
ERROR

Thanks & Regards

If so I am afraid that the firmware do not support XLAT.
And it is already the lastest firmware version maybe you have to switch to another module that support XLAT.
EC20CEFILGR08 support the XLAT, if you must need the XLAT please tell the sales that you need the R08.
