1. Overview
There are some new models of Dragino sensors support OTA update via Private LoRa Protocol, (Even the sensor runs LoRaWAN protocol by default).
User can use the OTA update to update the configure file or firmware to the sensors.
2. Support Models
Here list the models that support OTA Update.

3. How to do OTA update
3.1 Required Components
3.2 OTA Update Firmware
Video Instruction: -- OTA Upgrade Firmware (via LoRa) of LoRaWAN Sensors: https://youtu.be/SSvOqvBrwGg
- DevEUI: Input DevEUI of your sensor
- Password: Passord of your sensor(Last eight bytes of APPSKEY)
- Port: Com port of LA66 USB
- LoRa_Freq: Choose the shipped frequency band of your sensor.
- Upload_File: The firmware to be upload to the sensor. make sure the firmware is with surfix _without_bootloader. For example: LHT65N_EU868_v1.5_without_bootloader.
- DEUI_File: If customer has lots of sensors. He can also import the Dev EUI files and use droplist to choose the sensor to update. (If you did not ask us for a uniform update file, then you do not need to use this field, please ignore it.) Format is as below:
Upon re-plugging, the LA66 USB will reboot and broadcast the update process using the Dev EUI and passcode
When the OTA Tool displays “LA66 is scanning for sensor Dev EUI ‘DevEUI’. Please reset the sensor for connection and update”, press and hold the ACT button on the terminal node for 5 seconds to perform a terminal node reset so that the OTA Tool can connect successfully.
In every reboot/ reactivate, the end node will check if there is update request. If end node gets the update request from LA66. End node will check if the Dev EUI and Password match. If match, End node will establish connection with LA66 USB for OTA update.
Step5: Check result.
Below shows the update successul result.
4. FAQ
- For OTA_Tool, you can choose to use the OTA upgrade method, refer to the above upgrade steps in this user manual.
- Of course, if you have a USB-TTL adapter, you can also choose to use the UART upgrade method via OTA_Tool.
4.2 Where to find OTA Password?
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 . and we will search the password for you.
4.3 How about if i upgrade a crashed firmware via OTA update?
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.
Here are notice:
1. OTA update frequency depend on the firmware frequency. If there is no frequency in the firmware. Bootloader will use EU868 as default frequency.
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.
4.4 How to update the LA66 OTA Dongle via mobile phone?
bootlooder and OTA_firmware.
Tool Download: Download link form Dropbox.
Operation instructions: Reference for operating procedures.
4.5 Will OTA update effect the Local LoRaWAN Network.
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.
#Define the OTA frequency use for OTA.
#End Node has FRE1 and SF=5. So don't change FRE1 settings
#FRE2 include several frequencies point.
#PC first use FRE1 to create connection to end node, then use one of FRE2 frequencies to process downlink.
#Format:
#Frequency Band;FRE1;FRE2

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
In summary, as long as your LA66 has a boot loader, either LA66 V1 or LA66 V2 can use OTA_Tool.
4.7 Why can't LA66 burn its own working firmware after it is used for OTA upgrade of -LB products?
We are sorry for the inadequacy of LA66 for OTA updates in the past.
- In the past, the download address of LA66 OTA DONGLE V1.0 was 0x08000000, and the address of the bootloader that existed by default when the LA66 was shipped was also 0x08000000.
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.
So if you need to switch back to the LA66's working firmware, you'll need to refer to this link for instructions to burn firmware with a bootloader for the LA66.
- For the new version of LA66 OTA DONGLE V1.1, we have changed the supported download address to 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.
1. If user click "Start" but there is issue during update. User may need to close and open the tool again.
