Software Version 5.0.0
Released: Jun 2 2021
This is a GA4.5 production release of Pinnacle 100, MG100, and MG100-CT (Contact Tracing) firmware
New Features
- BLE services consolidated to do all custom messaging via mcumgr with SMP messages
- Memfault SDK v0.19.0
- Randomize backoff for AWS connection
- LTE version and LTE dropped connection metrics with Memfault
- Memory optimization (RAM) of the firmware.
- Validate HL7800 firmware 4.6.8.0
Bug Fixes
- MQTT connection unreliable after decommissioning or LTE disconnect. (18815)
Known Issues
- Commissioning information not preserved when firmware is updated from firmware 4.0.0 or older. (19070)
Asset Description
File format is:
firmware_part_number-Rfirmware_version_gnu_build_id_.board._app_image_type
firmware_part_number :
- Firmware : generic part number
- 480-xxxxx : part number used in production
firmware_version : major.minor.fix.build
gnu_build_id : used to uniquely identify firmware images. Only present if Memfault SDK used in firmware build.
board : the board the firmware is designed to run on
app :
- aws : AWS Out-of-Box demo using LTE-M to aggregate BLE sensor data to the cloud
- lwm2m : LwM2M demo using NB-IoT to send data to the cloud
- ct : Contact tracing firmware using LTE-M and AWS cloud connectivity.
image_type :
- *.hex : Firmware only image(MCUboot image not included). Flash this image to the device to leave MCUboot unchanged. You can use this image to update a device that already has the MCUboot boot loader installed, v3.x (GA3) or newer.
- *FOTA.bin : Firmware binary used for firmware-over-the-air updates.
- *full_image.hex : Complete firmware image including MCUboot boot loader. This is the binary used in manufacturing to flash a blank Pinnacle 100 modem. Use this if updating a device that has firmware 2.x (GA2) or earlier.
Updating to This Release
If coming from 2.x firmware, flashing the full image via SWD is required.
nrfjprog -f NRF52 --program 480-00070-R5.0.0.1622682988_e96f2d5e_.mg100._aws_full_image.hex --chiperase --reset
If coming from 3.x firmware, BLE, UART, or SWD can be used to update.

Asset Description
480-00052 firmware is for Pinnacle 100 DVK.
480-00070 is for MG100.
- *_LTE-M.hex = AWS OOB demo firmware only (MCUboot image not included). Flash this image to the device to leave MCUboot unchanged. You can use this image to update a device that already has the MCUboot boot loader installed, v3.x (GA3) or newer.
- *_LTE-M_FOTA.bin = AWS OOB firmware binary used for firmware-over-the-air updates.
- *_LTE-M_full_image.hex = Complete AWS OOB firmware image including MCUboot boot loader. This is the binary used in manufacturing to flash a blank Pinnacle 100 modem. Use this if updating a device that has firmware 2.x (GA2) or earlier.
- *_NB-IoT* files = same as above, but are the LwM2M demo over NB-IoT.
- *_CT* files = same as above, but contact tracing firmware using LTE-M and AWS cloud connectivity.
Updating to This Release
If coming from 2.x firmware, flashing the full image via SWD is required.
nrfjprog -f NRF52 --program 480-00070-R4.1.0.1618931859_LTE-M_full_image.hex --chiperase --reset
If coming from 3.x firmware, BLE, UART, or SWD can be used to update.
