Legato Linux distribution (Yocto project)

Module: WP7608
Background: some devices are in the field that are built with R13.1
My testing setup with the R17. I want to degrade to R13.1. I want to test the same scenario of the field device.

I tried the office version “WP76xx_Release13.1.1_GENERIC_GCF.exe”. but it could not downgraded.

how to wipeout all and flash R13.1.1

officially you cannot do so:

Is there an unofficial way to downgrade? I had just bought a batch of WP76xx modems to find that they cannot be downgraded to the version that my product requires!

If just one or two modules, distributor can help to generate a debug version for each module

But this unofficial way should not be applied to a batch of modules
