5G SENS GPIO - Changelog

v1.10.0-GPIO-X-6.0.0

Release date: 22.07.2024

Added / Changed

• Added reporting of errors that were encountered during over the air update operations

• Added support for up to eight GPIOs**

• Added basic support for communication with Modbus devices**

• Added a configuration option that enables users to attach a customer-specific identifier to a device

• Unified the sensor naming convention that is used when the device communicates with Cumulocity IoT

Fixes and optimizations

• Decreased the number of mobile network attaches that are required for communication

• Fixed an issue with the daylight saving time mechanism that resulted in additional messages

_{** This feature is only available with the Exelonix I/O Box}

v1.10.0-GPIO-X-5.0.1

Release date: 10.04.2024

Fixed

• A single GPIO interrupt does not trigger the transfer of telemetry data

v1.10.0-GPIO-X-5.0.0

Release date: 06.03.2024

Added / Changed

• Added a configuration option to specify a dead time for GPIO interrupts. The GPIO interrupts will be disabled during the dead time to improve application reliability in use cases with frequent interrupts.

• Users can now mark certain message events as alerts via configuration options to distinguish them from regular messages. The device puts in extra effort to ensure that alert messages are successfully delivered, especially in challenging connectivity conditions. This involves strategies like conducting multiple retries or switching to different radio access technologies to improve the chances of message delivery.

• The device now supports additional Cumulocity IoT device management functionality to update these device assets:

  • Firmware

  • Configuration files

  • Wireless BLE stack

  • Modem firmware

  • Application parameters

• Added configuration options to enable improved GNSS accuracy

• Added configuration options to customize intervals for device management communication

• Support OTA update artefacts from multiple tenant repositories of the Exelonix backend platform

• Improved device boot-up time

v1.9.0-GPIO-X-4.0.0

Release date: 07.07.2023

Added/ Changed

• Add file-based remote configuration update

• Add basic Bluetooth functionality for observing and broadcasting

• Improve data processing of stored measurements to decrease processing time

• Configurable initialization phase of the device with optional LED feedback

Fixed

• Disabling a device in Cumulocity caused the deletion of the device credentials

• Failed Cumulocity communication attempts are now retried. The number of retries is configurable, and the default value is 3.

• Cumulocity measurements with no reading are no longer transmitted with the value -999

• Minor fixes and improvements

v1.8.0-GPIO-X-3.0.1

Release date: 26.10.2022

Fixes

• Fixes an issue with the creation of Cumulocity/Cloud-of-Things SmartRest templates.
  Note: Although the issue exists in the previous version, it has no impact on the overall functionality of v1.8.0-GPIO-X-3.0.0

v1.8.0-GPIO-X-3.0.0

Release date: 01.10.2022

Added / Changed

• Add Firmware-Over-The-Air (FOTA) functionality for the Cumulocity/Cloud-of-Things platform

• Add additional device information during the Cumulocity/Cloud-of-Things registration process

• Add values of the acceleration sensor, humidity sensor and optical sensor to the measurement message

• Automatically adapt to the German daylight saving time offset

• Add support for multiple APNs of different mobile network operators

• Add configuration option to send data to the Exelonix platform via SenML

• Check for new firmware before restarting the device if the initialization process failed

Fixed

• Only desired internal application parameters can be set remotely now

v1.7.0-GPIO-X-2.1.0

Release date: 01.07.2022

Initial release
