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.

== 4.1 OTA_Tool supports two upgrade methods for -LB products. ==

252

253

254

(% style="color:red" %)**Note: The premise of using OTA_Tool is that all your devices have bootloaders.**

255

256

(% style="color:red" %)**1. **(%%)Only devices with bootloader can perform OTA upgrades(OTA upgrade method).

257

258

(% style="color:red" %)**2.**(%%) This is because the boot loader's address is (% style="color:blue" %)**0x08000000**(%%), the general functional firmware's address is (% style="color:blue" %)**0x0800D000**(%%), and burning the firmware through OTA_Tool will only write content to the address (% style="color:blue" %)**0x0800D000**(%%). So whether you use the OTA_Tool's OTA upgrade method or the UART upgrade method, you can only use it to download firmware without a bootloader, otherwise you will incorrectly place the bootloader at address (% style="color:blue" %)**0x08000000**(%%).

259

260

* For OTA_Tool, you can choose to use the (% style="color:blue" %)**OTA upgrade method**(%%), refer to the above upgrade steps in this user manual.

270

271

272

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.

277

== 4.3 How about if i upgrade a crashed firmware via OTA update? ==

278

279

280

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.

281

282

(% style="color:red" %)**Here are notice:**

283

284

~1. OTA update frequency depend on the firmware frequency. If there is no frequency in the firmware. Bootloader will use EU868 as default frequency.

285

286

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.

== 4.6 The old version LA66 is different from the new version LA66. Can OTA_Tool be used for both versions? ==

335

336

337

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]]

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? ==

345

346

347

We are sorry for the inadequacy of LA66 for OTA updates in the past.

348

349

* 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**(%%).

350

351

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.

352

353

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.

356

357

* 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.
