module using EasyFlash and the XBIB-CU-TH development board.

It applies to the XBee3 Cellular device containing the following cellular modem:

nu-blox SARA-R410M-02B

There are two .zip packages available to update the u-blox module via EasyFlash. You must contact

Digi Technical Support to get both of these .zip packages.

nCritical issue patch (required): Version L0.0.00.00.05.06-A02.01 patch

This is a required patch to fix a critical issue as described here: u-blox Memory Housekeeping

Issue on XBee3 Cat M Cellular.

nMaintenance release (recommended): Version L0.0.00.00.05.08 maintenance release

Prerequisites

nFirmware requirements:

lFor the critical issue patch: XBee3 Cellular LTE-M with firmware 1140A or above

lFor the maintenance release: XBee3 Cellular LTE-M with firmware 11413 or above

nValid SIM installed

nXBIB-CU-TH Development board

Precautions

For best results:

nThe update operation should have exclusive access to the XBee. Disable any running

MicroPython scripts or other communication to the module.

Digi XBee3 Cellular LTE-M Cellular Module Patch and Maintenance Release via

EasyFlash Firmware Update

Step 1: Configure the XBIB-CU-

TH board

90002353_C 2

nEnsure solid uninterrupted power. Power loss during update may cause corrupted modem

firmware.

nThe EasyFlash update should be done with the radio at factory settings.

lThe radio's parameters as read through the graphical interface of the XCTU can be set to

factory defaults and then written to the module. If a module is brand new, then this step is

not needed since it will already be at these settings.

Step 1: Configure the XBIB-CU-TH board

Enable the USB direct connect switches on XBIB-CU-TH development board. The switches must be

switched to the left of the board, as shown below.

Note This procedure requires USB direct and therefore cannot be performed on the XBIB-U-DEV

development board.

Step 2: Configure XBee3 Cellular LTE-M module.

1. Connect the USB Type-C cable to the USB 3.0 port on the bottom edge of the development

board. The USBhost must support USB 3.0, as this board requires the higher current supplied

by USB 3.0.
