KerOS firmware v5.11.0 (February 2024)
Changes from v5.10.1
Release corrections
- Fix LoRa demodulator (SX130x) counter overflow and time synchronization
- Fix application of LBT and beaconing configuration by LNS in Basic Station packet forwarder for Wirnet iFemtoCells and iStations
- Fix beaconing activation by LNS in Basic Station packet forwarder
Evolutions
- Keep the default generic operator configuration for cellular Wirnet iZepto-cell only
- Update the default APN list to reduce the need to configure the cellular backhaul
- Detect when a SIM is present but not operational
- Select the best active antenna to transmit downlinks depending on radio performances in a 2x8channels Wirnet iBTS Compact configuration
Restrictions
- IPSec is not yet supported
- Some issues with the Wi-Fi interface (instabilities, no fallback…) on Wirnet iFemtoCell
- When upgrading from KerOS firmware 4.x, all trustzone secrets are lost
- When upgrading from KerOS FW 4.3.3, a hardware reset is necessary for FW 5.x burner to correctly detect USB
- Update status for an update from KerOS FW 5.1.x, FW 5.2.x or FW 5.3.x is in error, but the update is working fine
- No more support of GSM dongles (please contact Kerlink if you plan to use one)
- When iZepto-E is powered by a computer, it cannot benefit from the connection of a gateway in router mode
- The activation/deactivation of the GSM from the local web interface takes some time to execute, so previous activation status remains displayed for a while. A page refresh after a delay of 15-20s after the action shows the right status
Firmware
Compatibility
- Compatible with Wirnet™ i-series gateways (Wirnet iBTS, Wirnet iFemtoCell, Wirnet iStation, Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution, Wirnet iZeptoCell Ethernet, Wirnet iZeptoCell Cellular).
Software
- Compatible with Wirnet™ i-series gateways secured with Kerlink Production fuses or without any fuses flashed.
- Regular update (
keros.ipk) is incompatible with firmware older than v5.x
- To upgrade the system from KerOS version 4.3.3 to KerOS version 5.x the use of a liveburner is MANDATORY. Two possibilities are available:
- Upgrade with a custom liveburner. It allows to keep some elements like gateway configuration. To use a custom liveburner, please refer to the dedicated page: Major version upgrade with a custom liveburner.
- Upgrade with a regular liveburner (erasing the whole partition to reinstall the firmware)
