LG290P v04 beta firmware fixes GST issue

As a customer, I think the LG290P is still a remarkable option given it’s great price point in the Market.

Even though we didn’t get HAS, the Quectel release history still shows a pretty decent turnaround for maturing the FW… IMHO :slight_smile:

But admittedly, I was a little sad to not get HAS as a backup option…yet.

Is there a corresponding updated protocol spec for this firmware version? There are quite a few new commands. I’ve looked through the LG290P downloads Quectel has made available but have only found v1.0 from 09-2024.

Hey all. I’ve upgraded my LG290P to v.105 using QGNSS v. 2.1 (Quectel_LG290P_Firmware_Release_V0105S.zip / LG290P03AANR01A05S.pkg / CRC E8E6AC4C).

The upgrade process went fine (admittedly after a few failed attempts), ending with the message “qgnss flash upgrade success”. Then nothing happens. After disconnecting and reconnecting the unit (so it was without power for a few seconds), I get “GNSS Failed to begin. Trying again. GNSS offline” on the serial terminal, and nothing in the QGNSS app (0 satellites, no messages appearing in the console, and no response to any messages written in the console).

I tried loading v. 104 and no joy.

I’m open to suggestions :slight_smile:

Please specify which board U have, how is powered and so on to a satisfactory description…
try to re-flash with QGNSS v. 2.0 at 460800 b. on uart1 (also the v3) and send e.g.
$PQTMVERNO*58
$PQTMGNSSSTART*51
perhaps a low power in flashing process caused corruption
