Boron LTE Stuck Flashing Green

Hi @StngBo,

All great questions.

There is still ongoing investigations into the issue. The cause of flashing green itself is a rather broad error (quite simply, no cellular connectivity) and as a result, can have several causes.

We are still investigating and working on reproducing all of the root causes in order to address them. Being able to reproduce each scenario and understand how they interact with each other will take some time.

With that in mind, progress is being made. We will be offering a more formal update this coming week with a Device OS release candidate to test. In the near term, I can offer you some insights as to where we stand:

For devices that are able to come online at first, but eventually degrade into blinking green, we have filed and merged pull request #1862 . This request tackles a memory leak in the muxer for when a device establishes connectivity. For a poor connection area, a device may re-establish several times, allocating (but never de-allocating memory).

Devices with the above symptom are able to be recovered through reset or turning the device off and on on current device OS.

We are hoping after our release of the next device OS release candidate, to gather feedback and continue investigating the other types of symptoms we are seeing.At present, other ongoing investigations we are looking into are devices that turn on in blinking green but never actually connect and misconfigured I2C slave devices causing device OS stalling.

In short, progress is being made. We will have some actionable testing coming soon. :slight_smile:
