Glad to say the ordeal with SIM808 support is over. With Michael Balzer’s help, we’ve got the GPS working well and the final firmware is built.

To keep things as small as possible, we’ve split to two different sets of configuration files and firmware builds types for the V2 hardware. Here is the full list of firmware files:

V1_production_908.hex           V1 Hardware Module, SIM908 modem, production firmware

V2_production_808.hex           V2 Hardware Module, SIM808 modem, production firmware

V2_production_908.hex           V2 Hardware Module, SIM908 modem, production firmware

V2_experimental_808.hex         V2 Hardware Module, SIM808 modem, experimental firmware

V2_experimental_908.hex         V2 Hardware Module, SIM908 modem, experimental firmware

V2_RT_production_808.hex        V2 Hardware Module, SIM808 modem, Renault Twizy full firmware

V2_RT_production_908.hex        V2 Hardware Module, SIM908 modem, Renault Twizy full firmware

V2_TR_production_808.hex        V2 Hardware Module, SIM808 modem, Tesla Roadster full firmware

V2_TR_production_908.hex        V2 Hardware Module, SIM908 modem, Tesla Roadster full firmware

The v2.8.6 firmware is now live on github.

You can tell the difference between a SIM808 and SIM908 module by looking at the board. The big white chip is clearly marked.

This production firmware is going to the factory now. Hopefully the modules (SIM808) will be back in stock at Fasttech within the coming week.

We’ve also taken this opportunity to merge in a bunch of changes from various contributors. The full change log is:
