KerOS firmware v5.12.2 (March 2026)
Changes from v5.12.2
Evolutions
- Keep SSH authorized keys for root user during upgrade
- Keep gwmp.period and gwmp.statistics values during klk_apps_config
- Use different URL for WARC server depending on certificate curve
Release corrections
- Fix upgrade when files to keep are too big
- Fix upgrade from web interface when upgrade file is bigger than 100MB
- Fix SNR values returned by lora tools and lorad in SF12
- Kconf is able to read/write ofono configuration file if same section is present twice
- Fix lorad init script return value if basicstation is not running
- Fix GSM connection when there is no 3G and operator needs more than just APN to connect in LTE
Restrictions
- IPSec is not yet supported
- Some issues with the Wi-Fi interface (instabilities, no fallback…) on Wirnet iFemtoCell
- When upgrading from KerOS firmware 4.x, all trustzone secrets are lost
- When upgrading from KerOS FW 4.3.3, a hardware reset is necessary for FW 5.x burner to correctly detect USB
- Update status for an update from KerOS FW 5.1.x, FW 5.2.x or FW 5.3.x is in error, but the update is working fine
- No more support of GSM dongles (please contact Kerlink if you plan to use one)
- When iZepto-E is powered by a computer, it cannot benefit from the connection of a gateway in router mode
- The activation/deactivation of the GSM from the local web interface takes some time to execute, so previous activation status remains displayed for a while. A page refresh after a delay of 15-20s after the action shows the right status
Firmware
Compatibility
- Compatible with Wirnet™ i-series gateways (Wirnet iBTS, Wirnet iFemtoCell, Wirnet iStation, Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution, Wirnet iZeptoCell Ethernet, Wirnet iZeptoCell Cellular).
