Station G2 to Ikoka Stick: direct ACL transfer sample, 2026-10-29

A Station G2 Full Repeater connected by USB served a capped application transfer to an Ikoka Stick Repeater over a direct LoRa link. The receiver confirmed 5 of 268 blocks, or 10,240 bytes of application payload. The test stopped there; it did not install firmware or update the bootloader.

Component	Tested value
Source	Station G2 Full Repeater, revision `ba0321a8`
Destination	Ikoka Stick nRF52 33 dBm Repeater, firmware `v1.17.1.9`
Destination bootloader	OTAFIX 2.4.11, QSPI staging
Administration	Existing admin ACL grant; native `ota.peer cmd.acl`
Link	Zero-hop; source secondary profile to destination temporary profile
Package	Full application package, 2,048-byte payload blocks
Transfer cap	Five blocks; requests beyond the cap were denied

Confirmed results

Direct ACL commands worked on both the normal and temporary profiles without a password login. A get tx reply on the temporary profile took about 1.4 seconds. The returned setting was 9; this is a configured radio value, not a measurement of output power after the external amplifier.

The destination reported FETCH 5/268 for the selected package. It was later confirmed FETCH idle. No install or destination reboot was requested. The cancellation reply was lost, so this run does not establish that the persistent QSPI receive slot was invalidated.

On-air compression was not verified. The payload count and USB file reads do not establish how many compressed bytes crossed the radio link. This sample also does not qualify a complete download, installation, or the guided wizard's end-to-end recovery flow.

Command handling

A successful temporary-profile acknowledgement was accepted without repeated status queries. Necessary read or idempotent commands were limited to three attempts; get tx was used as a connectivity probe only after those attempts failed. Relative temporary leases, download, install and cancel commands were not candidates for blind replay after a lost reply.

At the operator's request, both temporary profiles were left active for 12 hours. G2 repeating was on and cross-profile forwarding was off. Destination RX power saving was returned to maximum; G2 RX power saving remained off for secondary-profile scanning. These were test-device settings, not wizard defaults.
