Binary file in mDot module

I'm using Multitech mbed and udk2 development kit to jump in LoRa. When I append a binary file to the USB the file is consumed and dissapears (can't delete) and the kit remains using this binary forever. How can I delete this file and return to the previous configuration? I also can't connect via serial port.

Thanks in advance

The MultiConnect® mDot™ offers significantly longer range and improved radio performance compared to traditional wireless solutions—resulting in greater transmission range and reduced capital expense.

Hi Bernat,

Thanks for getting in touch, the drag and drop functionality you are talking of is fundamental to mbed, this is how it works, it erases the previously used binary and only uses the latest, there is no way to retrieve the previous configuration.

Regarding the Serial port, first power the mDOT then the udk2 interface.

Andrea, team mbed

Bernat,

The mDot platform page has some information about getting the USB debug port working.

If your UDK2 is MTUDK2-ST-MDOT, you don't need external power - it can be powered via the mircro USB connection.

If your UDK2 is MTUDK2-ST-CELL, you need external power - in this case, connect the power supply before connecting the USB.

Cheers,

Mike
