Inconsistent firmware version in upload data #16

Open bertrik opened 3 years ago

bertrik commented 3 years ago

The upload data contains a field with the firmware version, this appears inconsistent with the version reported over serial.

My LGT-92 reports firmware version 1.6.1 over the serial interface. The upload data seems to indicate a firmware version "153", which I think should be interpreted as 1.5.3 I think this is inconsistent.

Also I can't actually find the 1.6.1 binary on the download page at: https://www.dragino.com/downloads/downloads/LGT_92/firmware/ There is a directory for a newer 1.6.2, hower it is empty.

Also it appears that there is no versioning in the git archive. I suggest to use a git 'tag' for a specific version/release. You can read more about it here: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging It is even possible to add tags afterwards, so you can still add tags for earlier releases.

Cool, I see the firmware binary for 1.6.2 is now available in https://www.dragino.com/downloads/downloads/LGT_92/firmware/v1.6.2/

And 1.6.5 is reported as "164"...

BTW, 1.6.6 seems broken, judging from the serial console output, anyone tried it successfully?

bertrik commented 3 years ago

Firmware 1.6.6 would not work for me either, some kind of reboot loop, I flashed the second-newest version.

Thanks for confirming this. Might wonder why they haven't retracted it. BTW, where do the users communicate, apart from this issue tracker?

There is a Google Group at https://groups.google.com/g/dragino-user but you might just as well write to /dev/null
