FM350-GL-??

[TullioC]

Hi,

Of the various existing hardware versions of the 'FM350-GL', what are the differences? Are they all compatible with your code?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello @TullioC,

Yes, all variants are supported, as long as the system is running a version later than 23.06, which enables DIAG AT on ttyUSB1.

Updating the system is simple: you just need a USB to M.2 Key B adapter, install the drivers on your PC (Windows), and select the two files inside the update.

You can find the update files based on the model (Intel/HP or DELL) here: https://share.superkali.me/s/iGPPmypceQgjfsL.

Feel free to ask if you have any other questions! 😊

@giorez Yes is compatible, looks like a HP/Intel version, if the version is older you’ve to update it with m2 b key to usb with windows

Could you please clarify what this means?

For additional information, inspect the mtd0 partition using a Hex editor at address 0x40100.

It seems nothing is there:

root@BananaWRT:~# hexdump -C /dev/mtd0 | tail -n 5

Answering myself: yes, it's the USB mode.

root@BananaWRT:/tmp# hexdump -C mtd0 | grep 40100

So it's good for updating, I guess. Did you update your modem? is it any better now?

Also, could you get GPS to work?

Depends, actually I’m using the latest version that’s the 24.02, works fine, people on forums did that improve temperature, but this depends on how they dissipate it, on banana pi looks plus or minus identical, but I think it’s better to keep updated the modem in every case.

Also, could you get GPS to work?

Yes, but the logic is poorly done, at least that's what I think.

This is a Dell version, you’ve to use the correct update, but I think you’ve already the files to do it or if you don’t have the link just ask.

I see. Updating the modem must be done on a Windows device with an adapter, right? can the adapter be USB2 or must be USB3?

Yes, but the logic is poorly done, at least that's what I think.

Via ugps? What is the correct ttyUSBx?

Thanks for all your help :)

Yes, should be done from your PC with Windows, and for the adapter, i have bought the USB3 version, i never tried with USB2 version.

Via ugps

Can't be used with this package, the implementation is different,
