Hi @skumar,
Maybe you should have a look at this document:
https://doc.rakwireless.com/rak7200-lora-tracker
Actually, if you only want upgrade the firmware for RAK7200, you needn’t to flash the bootloader again, and surely you needn’t to use STM32 CubeProgrammer. You just need to do as follow:
Yep, I am seeing this exact same error with 3.1.0.5_release.bin.
What to do?
I was following the instructions here https://doc.rakwireless.com/rak7200-lora-tracker/burning-the-bootloader to install 3.1.0.5 but get the following …
21:08:07:530 : Memory Programming ...
21:08:07:531 : Opening and parsing file: RUI_RAK7200_V3.1.0.5_release.bin

21:08:07:531 : Error: Operation exceeds memory limits
21:08:07:574 : Error: failed to erase memory
This is after erasing, so I am stuck. Is the 3.1.0.3 Firmware available somewhere - that is what I erased!
Thanks for the help. This resolve the issue.
We really need RAK Upgrade Tool as explained in https://doc.rakwireless.com/rak7200-lora-tracker/upgrading-the-firmware
Once that is done, I got device working. LED still an issue though. I do not see LED for charging/Charged working anymore.

Hi all,
V3.1.0.6 firmware has been released, please download it here:
https://downloads.rakwireless.com/en/LoRa/RAK7200-Tracker/Firmware/
Thanks Fomi,
Just flashed the tracker with 3.1.0.6, ABP mode and with at+set_config=lora:send_interval:1,30
Will take it with me the whole day at work, end of the day I’ll report my findings.
best regards, Jeroen
Ok, my findings.
I’m sorry to say but the new firmware 3.1.0.6 is not working very well.
It is working less comparing with 3.1.0.5. On my trip to work I’ve got only 1 valid TTN mapper GPS hit.
Also without GPS the hit performance is terrible even with external antenna. As previous reported the node is not connecting always to a gateway (in range).
Issues:
I’ll revert to 3.1.0.4 (ok without GPS sleep mode), this firmware is much reliable.
happy to test further,
BR,

Cayenne with hit on the Arctic:
Does 3.1.0.4 work for you then?
I had all kinds of issues with the LPP decoder not working properly on that version.
I’ll upgrade to 3.1.0.6 and see what happens, but I’ve got to say I’m less than impressed with this device so far, it really does feel like Alpha quality instead of the finished product that I paid for.
My first reacion: something goes very wrong with TTN Mapper:
In cayenne no GPS data is coming trough
Hi all,
We’ve tested RAK7200 with the latest firmware V3.1.0.6 yestday, the following picture shows the result in Cayenne:
It seems that the latest firmware works well and the GPS can be shown in Cayenne correctly.
But there is still an issue, the GPS position are changing all the time even if we don’t move the device.
We’ll debug this issue ASAP.
Hi friends,
I’ve just got a testing firmware from ACSIP for testing GPS especially.
Please download from here:
https://github.com/RAKWireless/Update-File/blob/master/S76G_GPS_NMEA_output_SP_20190318.7z
and flash it into MCU (earse all data firstly including the bootloader). Then you can see some NMEA log out from UART.
When you get the log, please send me these logs. Thank you!
Hi Fomi,
The tracker works indeed when you are NOT moving, as soon as you are moving causes no GPS lock after wake up.
During fixed position sometimes you will have an incorrect lock. Indeed the same as you discovered.
See below:
So, please try to put it in your car, bike and drive arround.
Did you already had a change to check the other issues?
BR,
Jeroen
Hi Fomi,
Happy to test it but I need to have my laptop installed in my car otherwise I cannot get the statements from the UART.
Not able to perform it today but tomorrow I can and will let you know.
BR,
Jeroen
Hi Fomi,
Any updates, news with regards the other reported issues?
In your cayenne dashboard I see you’ve got a temp/baro sensor working with the 7200. Is this a different hardware version as you reported the versions currently shipped doesn’t have this sensor?
BR,
Jeroen
Anyone else testing this device in the US? I’m having problems with it connecting to a known good Lora access point. I get the join packet, the serial interface states it joins successfully (OTAA), but then when it tries to send GPS data, I get a Unknown Network Error: 8, then (as of firmware 3.1.0.6) the 7200 says it sends GPS data but nothing is received at the access point. It’s never successfully transmitted GPS since I got this device. One thing I’m noticing is that no matter how far/close I am or with multiple antennas (factory or add on) the device seems to be hitting the max duty cycle time of 371 seconds at SF 10. The TTN console reports that any packet no matter the distance from the AP is using 370.7 seconds to transmit. I’m wondering if that has something to do with this issue?
Also, when masking out channels, a restart is required for it to save and use them - you may want to add that to the AT command directions.
Hi Jim,
I’m in the identical situation as you here in the US. Using 3.1.06 I can join okay and it shows up on the TTN console. But no data is sent. I get Unknown Network Error: 8 and then [LoRa]: Send out <data_len:32bytes>. All the channel assignments look correct (8 – 15 are on) others are off, except 64 – 71 are also on. I think only 64 should be on, so I disabled 65 – 71, verified channels and then did a restart as you mentioned. After it came up 64 – 71 were back on again. I should mention I’m inside and the GPS is not locked.
Had some success sending data (32 bytes worth). The default data rate of 0 doesn’t allow sending a payload that large. I set my RAK to a data rate of 1 using “at+set_config=lora:dr:1”. Now all the data gets to the TTN console. Hope this helps.
hi
I receive my rak7200 tracker yesterday, the lights not work how can active it? thanks
I have the same problem with my RAK7200. The LEDs do not work.
According to RAKWIRELESS this is a known problem due to the (not_finished) status of the software.
I am using firmware version RUI_RAK7200_V3.1.0.6_release.bin on the device, btw.
