144 Each device has a shipped label with OTA Password which is 16 chars. like below. If user don't find this, please send us a photo for the device with Dev EUI to [[support@dragino.com>>mailto:support@dragino.com]] . and we will search the password for you.

147
148
149 == 4.3 How about if i upgrade a crashed firmware via OTA update? ==
150
151
152 OTA update is done via Bootloader and only change the firmware partition. So update a crash firmware via OTA update won't destroy bootloader and user can use OTA method to update again.
153
154 (% style="color:red" %)**Here are notice:**
155
156 ~1. OTA update frequency depend on the firmware frequency. If there is no frequency in the firmware. Bootloader will use EU868 as default frequency.
157
158 2. OTA update require a reset or reactivate action. If the crash firmware doesn't have them work, user need to manuall push the physic reset button on the PCB or power off/on device.

174 * If you have burned LA66 OTA DONGLE V1.0 for your LA66 according to previously existing instructions. Then you need to re-burn your LA66 boot loader first: [[LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter User Manual - DRAGINO>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/User%20Manual%20for%20LoRaWAN%20End%20Nodes/LA66%20USB%20LoRaWAN%20Adapter%20User%20Manual/#H1.10.2Updatemethod:A0ForLA66withoutbootloader]]

179 == 4.5 Will OTA update effect the Local LoRaWAN Network. ==
180
181 User can configure the OTA_Frequency.txt file to change the Update frequency point so it won't conflict with the general LoRa Frequency. See below for the file as reference and explain. The OTA update also use a none-use SF (SF=5) which won't conflict with the current use SF.

184 #End Node has FRE1 and SF=5. So don't change FRE1 settings

206 == 4.6 The old version LA66 is different from the new version LA66. Can OTA_Tool be used for both versions? ==
207
208
209 The most obvious hardware difference between LA66 V1 and LA66v2 when burning is the presence of a "RESET "button, and the RESET operation is only for LA66 without a boot loader, you can refer to this link to learn how to upgrade LA66 without a boot loader：[[LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter User Manual - DRAGINO>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/User%20Manual%20for%20LoRaWAN%20End%20Nodes/LA66%20USB%20LoRaWAN%20Adapter%20User%20Manual/#H1.10.2Updatemethod:A0ForLA66withoutbootloader]]
210
211 [[image:image-20250122134752-6.png||height="288" width="543"]]
212
213 In summary, as long as your LA66 has a boot loader, either LA66 V1 or LA66 V2 can use OTA_Tool.
214
215
216 == 4.7 Why can't LA66 burn its own working firmware after it is used for OTA upgrade of -LB products? ==
217
218
219 We are sorry for the inadequacy of LA66 for OTA updates in the past.
220
221 * In the past, the download address of LA66 OTA DONGLE V1.0 was (% style="color:blue" %)**0x08000000**(%%), and the address of the bootloader that existed by default when the LA66 was shipped was also (% style="color:blue" %)**0x08000000**(%%).
222
223 Therefore, when you burn OTA_Firmwar v1.0 (LA66 OTA DONGLE v1.0) for the LA66 in order to use the LA66‘s ability to perform OTA upgrades for -LB products, the LA66’s bootloader is overridden.
224
225 So if you need to switch back to the LA66's working firmware, you'll need to refer to this [[link>>https://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/User%20Manual%20for%20LoRaWAN%20End%20Nodes/LA66%20USB%20LoRaWAN%20Adapter%20User%20Manual/#H1.10.2Updatemethod:A0ForLA66withoutbootloader]] for instructions to burn firmware with a bootloader for the LA66.
226
227 [[image:image-20250122113225-5.png||height="336" width="798"]]
228
229 * For the new version of LA66 OTA DONGLE V1.1, we have changed the supported download address to (% style="color:blue" %)**0x0800D000**(%%) the same as other working firmware addresses, so you can simply use OTA_Tool to burn LA66 OTA DONGLE V1.1 and LA66 working firmware for LA66.
