info

EU_433 and EU_868 have to adhere to an hourly duty cycle limitation of 10%, calculated every minute on a rolling 1-hour basis. Your device will stop transmitting if you reach it, until it is allowed again.

Now that you have set the LoRa region on your device, you can continue with configuring any LoRa Configs to suit your needs.

Flash firmware

Flash the Application Firmware

• Step 1: Download the firmware

You may use the Meshtastic Web Flasher to download and copy firmware.

Select the device to Seeed Card Tracker T1000-E and the latest firmware, and download the UF2 file.

• Step 2: Enter DFU mode

Connect the USB cable to your PC, press and hold the device button, then quickly connect the charging cable twice, the LED will be solid on, the device will enter the DFU mode, and there should be a driver named T1000-E display.

• Step 3:

Download and Copy UF2 file to the DFU drive. Firmware should be flashed after the file is downloaded and the device reboots.

Flash the Bootloader

note

Not recommended to flash the bootloader unless advised by tech support!

• Bootloader download

Step1: Adafruit-nrfutil Installation

Prerequisites

• Python3
• pip3

Installing from PyPI

This is recommended method, to install latest version:

pip3 install --user adafruit-nrfutil

Installing from Source

Use this method if you have issue installing with PyPi or want to modify the tool. First clone this repo and go into its folder.

git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_nrfutil.git
cd Adafruit_nRF52_nrfutil

Note: following commands use python3, however if you are on Windows, you may need to change it to python since windows installation of python 3.x still uses the name python.exe

To install in user space in your home directory:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py install

If you get permission errors when running pip3 install, your pip3 is older or is set to try to install in the system directories. In that case use the --user flag:

pip3 install -r --user requirements.txt
python3 setup.py install

If you want to install in system directories (generally not recommended):

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
sudo python3 setup.py install

To generate a self-contained executable binary of the utility (Windows and MacOS), run these commands:

pip3 install pyinstaller
cd Adafruit_nRF52_nrfutil
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
cd Adafruit_nRF52_nrfutil\nordicsemi
pyinstaller __main__.py --onefile --clean --name adafruit-nrfutil

You will find the .exe in Adafruit_nRF52_nrfutil\nordicsemi\dist\adafruit-nrfutil ( with .exe if you are on windows). Copy or move it elsewhere for your convenience, such as directory in your %PATH%.

Step2: Flash the bootloader

Connect the device to your PC and run the following command:

• For Windows:

adafruit-nrfutil --verbose dfu serial --package t1000_e_bootloader-0.9.1-5-g488711a_s140_7.3.0.zip -p COMxx -b 115200

• For others:

adafruit-nrfutil --verbose dfu serial --package t1000_e_bootloader-0.9.1-5-g488711a_s140_7.3.0.zip -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART -b 115200

Replace the serial port with your device port. Example:
