Introduction
This user guide introduces Murata LoRa Pico Gateway
Transceiver Module called Type1QM and how to set up the
adapter board. The host interface which the module supports
includes USB and UART.
Type1QM is a multi-channel high performance transceiver designed to
simultaneously receive several LoRa packets using random spreading
factors. This design is for USA/Australia 915 MHz ISM band [902 MHz
- 928 MHz]

Hardware presentation
The adapter board can be used to easily evaluate Type1QM via the
host interface. The adapter board brings USB and UART signals,
power supply, and some control signals from 10pin cable to mini
USB connector and other connectors.
Type1QM connects adapter board with 10
pins cable and 2 pins power cable.

Firmware in Type1QM
•Test firmware which can be verify electrical performance
is preprogrammed in Type1QM.
•The following slides provide how to update the firmware
in Type1QM.
NOTE:
Only Test firmware is programmed in our production
line. Customers must update the FW which is released
by Semtech formally.

•Enter DFU mode in Linux (SW method)
–lsusb
–cd ~/lora-net/picoGW_hal/util_boot
–./util_boot –d /dev/ttyACM0
–lsusb
•Start FW update:
–sudo /usr/local/bin/dfu-util –a 0 –D ~/lora-

ttyACM0 is the serial port device under
/dev, which is created after inserting
the USB able. It maybe different on
your platform.
The path and name of the fw file to be
flashed, can be different on your
platform.
