LORA init failed

[jiangxw]

If I go to Settings->About System, both "LORA init" and "TF Card" show "FAIL" on a brand new device. how do I fix that?

[ShallowGreen123]

You can use examples/CC1101_xxx and examples/tf_card_test to test whether Lora and TF card are normal respectively;

[jiangxw]

I flashed cc1101_send_irq to the device. But "LORA init" still shows up as "FAIL". In addition, the interface did not change. What did I miss?

The following is the log for flashing the firmware

Can I see the log output of the cc1101_send_irq log?

[jiangxw]

The following is the output. Does it require a SD card to function? I used platformio to upload the firmware and it succeeded as in above log. But I'm not sure if the firmware actually take effect because nothing in the UI changed.

You can try using the factory_test example. My tests are OK.

The factory example does have the problem you described, thanks for the feedback;

[jiangxw]

factory_test works sometimes, but it sometimes also fails to init cc1101 with error code -16.

I tried both cc1101_send_irq and cc1101_recv_irq, they both crash on boot. How do I fix this? Is there a good commit that I can try?

Here is the log for cc1101_send_irq:

Consider replacing a CC1101 for you, it seems that there is a problem with Lora's SPI connection。

[jiangxw]

What's the process to get it replaced?
