Using the SDK to update the device firmware, with either a custom application or an example application, automatically updates the Module's network information. You must be connected to the internet when building the application for the latest network updates to be applied.

Satellites orbital models change over time. When Myriota enabled devices are deployed they receive regular updates from the Myriota Network that contain the constellation's orbital models, or network information.

We recommend updating the network information before deployment to ensure the device has the most up to date orbital model of the Myriota Network. 

Update Using the SDK

The Myriota SDK includes a Python script in the tools folder, updater.py, which provides the ability to update the network information.

Ensure you have installed the SDK, can program your device and that your development PC is connected to the internet.

Run the following command: 

updater.py -n networkinfo.bin

Update Using the Myriota DeviceAssist

The Myriota DeviceAssist tool provides an alternative method to update the network information that does not require installation of the Myriota SDK. The tool is supported on both Windows and Linux platforms. See the Myriota DeviceAssist User Guide for more information. In the software, use the "Download Latest" button to load the latest Network Info followed by an "Update Device" operation.
