MM610X-H06-1 Connecting

Hi All,

I’ve been following this project with interest. I have a pair of MM610X-H06-1 on Pi4s, i’ve flashed the Morse Micro image and the boards are recognised, but wont connect. I’ve tried setting up as mesh nodes, but also a typical STA/AP arrangement. Channels etc are correct, but if i try a scan from within the STA, i don’t see the AP on the other side of the office.

Likewise i see the local interface under status –> Channel Analysis on the AP node, but nothing showing on the STA. Are there any required jumper settings on these modules?

Thanks

Hi @SteveJonesPSD

Just to clarify - do you mean the Morse Micro image for the EKH01 as downloaded from here? Or is this an image provided by AsiaRF for their hardware?

Likewise i see the local interface under status –> Channel Analysis on the AP node, but nothing showing on the STA. Are there any required jumper settings on these modules?

There are no physical jumpers to configure. I’m hoping you’re at least seeing the 900 MHz radio tab in this view on the station.

If using the Morse Micro images, these are primarily designed around our own modules (used for evaluation/reference), and there is a minor adjustment to configuration required if using another vendor’s module. The fix will require some commands to be run on the command line. If you are uncomfortable with ssh you can get a terminal in the WebUI under Services → Terminal.

First run

uci show wireless | grep morse

to get the radio number registered in the config. For example, a device on my desk returned wireless.radio1.type='morse'

Then you should be able to run
uci set wireless.radio1.bcf='bcf_mf10220.bin'
to set the BCF to what should be a compatible BCF for this module. Set the radio number as per the output above.
Finish this all up with a

uci commit wireless
reload_config

You will likely need to do this on both devices.

This is the closest BCF that we provide which will be functional for the AsiaRF module. Note that for regulatory compliance you will need to reach out to AsiaRF for the correct BCF for the region you are operating in.

Thanks so much for this. It looks like i’m using v2.7 of the image, so i’ll try the latest and apply the fixes you mention and report back.

I’m hoping the AsiaRF (or your) EU modules will be available shortly, as i’m keen to do some “proper” field testing. Thanks again.
