MM8108-EKH05 BCF Issues

General
1

Hello,

I’m trying to develop a Wi-Fi HaLow project using the MM8108-EKH05 Development Kit, and am unable to bring up the HaLow module. I’ve tried building various examples from the the HaLow_Example_spi project (from mm-iot-cmsis) and seem to be running into the same issue on each one, seemingly regarding the BCF.

E     2871 Morse Chip Reset Unsuccessful
E     2871 Transport init failed
-----------------------------------
  BCF API version:         12.1.0
  BCF build version:       fa428d75 8c4dd7f
  BCF board description:   {"module": "mm8108-mf15457", "s
  !! Error occured whilst retrieving version info !!
  Morselib version:        
  Morse firmware version:  
  Morse chip ID:           0x0000
  Morse chip name:         
-----------------------------------

What steps do I need to take to be able to bring up the mm8108-mf15457 HaLow module?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @arodriguez

This is not a BCF problem, this is the CPU not being able to communicate with the Morse chip. From that log the BCF is correct for the board you are using.

Instead of compiling yourself, can you try flashing the binary suitable for your region from https://www.morsemicro.com/resources/software_releases/iot/prebuilt_binaries/CMSIS-Pack-1.7.4_MM8108-EKH05-Demo_Regional_Binaries.zip. Please let me know if the issue persists after loading one of these prebuilt binaries.

Please also take a look at the MM8108-EKH05 User Guide available here: Wi-Fi HaLow EKH05 | User Guide
