Software Releases - Rigado Device Ops
Rigado Device Ops
The release notes for Rigado gateway manager software
Release Date 2024.09-30
Version 2024.09-01 | Revision 5392
Highlights
- This release is the last release of rigado-deviceops that is based on Ubuntu Core 16 and the next one is going to be based on Ubuntu Core 20.
- This release is focused on observability and on continuing improving the experience with cellular networks. The new features to highlight are:
- Introducing system-level profiling information as a part of a standard diagnostics package.
- The Network Reset procedure has been extended clear the modem context information. This change enables the users of our devices to perform steps that up until now required Rigado suport to be involved.
- Furthermore, we have spent time optimising the amount of data our gateways are transmitting and as a consequence the gateways are going to be more friendly for the cellular users on a limited data plans.
- Finally, we improve the software watchdog circuits to make sure our gateways can recover from network loss event faster.

Release Date 2024.02.07
Version 2023.08-03 | Revision 4930
Highlights
This is a bug fix release on top of the rigado-deviceops version 2023.08-02 that addresses cellular connectivity issues and also reduces the data usage while on cellular.
The fixed issue is a case where the gateway is not able to establish a cellular connection, seen on AT&T network and related to choosing the IP type.
Furthermore, this release carries a few minor changes that improve the reporting in the logs and internal diagnostics.
Release: 2023.08-03
Bugs Fixed:
fix: don't stop collecting diagnostics if one fails
fix: return error if AT command to modem fails
General Improvements:
refactor: do not use volatile data for ModemInfo comparison
refactor: force IPv4 when the modem is attempting to use IPv6
Miscs:
chore: bump version to 2023.08-03
Release Date 2023.11.15
Version 2023.08-02 | Revision 4806
Highlights
This is a bug fix release on top of the agent version 2023.08-01 that addresses a recently found bug.
The fixed issue is a case where the internal watchdog can enter a loop restarting the cellular modem every 2 minutes, not giving it enough time to establish a successful connection with the network. As a consequence, when that happens, the gateway may not be able to operate over cellular.
The affected agent versions are all releases starting from release: 2020.09-1 (inclusive)
We estimate that the field conditions that could lead to this behavior are limited, nevertheless it is recommended to install this fix.

Release Date 2023.06-03
Version 2023.06-03 | Revision 4595
Highlights
This release resolves various cellular oddities that we have been experiencing over recent months. This release:
- Changes how the PLS63 modem is configured -- now setting it to auto load profiles, drastically improving our interoperability with AT&T networks.
- Allowed us to locate and fix a long-standing bug in our serial port implementation that messed up responses to AT commands that were long and came with a slight delay.
Complete change log
Release 2023.06-03
Bugs Fixed:
fix: serial port discarded segmented data
General Improvements:
refactor: MTU configurator

Release Date 2023.05.01
Version 2023.05-01 | Revision 4489
Highlights
This release is addressing the compatibility issues with the AT&T networks for our gateways equipped with PLS63 modem (the Cascade 500X gateway). Our gateway agent is now configuring the modem according to AT&T requirements making the gateway introduce itself as data centric (not voice centric as it has been before).
Furthermore, we have tweaked the MQTT Keep Alive setting to improve the performance on a networks with poor connectivity.
