Unable to send or update Nova

I am unable to send or receive any messages from my Pi attached Nova. It appears to not be able to connect to the cloud server:

I also tried to update to the latest code and it also times out. Here is the info in the log file:

And it times out at this point.

Any help appreciated.

You might be running into this network issue: Open Network Issue With Cat-M - #10 by Reuben

Try updating your Nova firmware as described in here:

Oh wait, sorry I missed that you already tried that. Let me reread your post

The firmware update should not be run over the cellular connection. Make sure your pi has a connection via wifi or ethernet before running.

Hi Reuben,

I have a wifi connection to the Pi and the default route is via the wifi interface:

And for fun I was able to manually download it using wget… Odd that it’d be trying via the cellular network in the updater script?

Yeah I’m not sure what to make of that. The firmware updater doesn’t try to start up PPP or anything like that. Do you have any kind of separate modem manager running?

I was able to get the update to load after manually downloading it. Sending messages via SMS worked as well. Looks like that was the issue.

Thanks!
