Hi,

I just tested Seeed Studio FGH100M-H module conneceted to ESP32-S3, using MM-IoT-SDK-esp32 v2.9.7. However, got some error when using:

Oiya, the main app is from iperf example, but only put simple app_wlan_init:

#include <endian.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "mm_app_common.h"

void app_main(void)
{
    /* Initialize and connect to Wi-Fi, blocks till connected */
    app_wlan_init();
    // app_wlan_start();
}

Hi @xflash

Your problem is caused by the incorrect BCF being used for your module.

Please can you:

  1. Download the appropriate BCF for your module from morse-firmware/bcf/quectel at main · MorseMicro/morse-firmware · GitHub
  2. Convert it by running this script on it mm-iot-sdk/framework/tools/buildsystem/convert-bin-to-mbin.py at main · MorseMicro/mm-iot-sdk · GitHub
  3. Update your build to use this new BCF

hi,

how to update build to use specific BCF?

And how to check it is correctly applied?

Thanks,

You can change the bcf file in the menuconfig under: Morse Micro Shim Configuration. See screenshot, bleu part:

To check if it the bin to mbin went correctly use the Porting_assistant example. That also verifies the bcf file used.

Thank you very much!

I fried my seeed studio’s quectel board, So now I can’t test. But I get the new board. I will test and report here!

  • Is it possible to edit using text file or shoud I use a configurator?

Is it possible to edit using text file or shoud I use a configurator?

Any text editor will work
