fypi/pytrack firmaware update fails

[Xykon]

@gnm After running [sudo] python bin/pypic.py -p <com port> --enter can you please run [sudo] python bin/updater.py -p <com port> wmac?

I also 2nd the suggestion to try a different USB cable... preferably as short and thick as possible.

[Xykon]

@gnm I have also uploaded a new firmware updater package... with this version it should no longer be required to run pypic.py manually.

The download link is: [LINK NO LONGER AVAILABLE]

After you download this, instead of running the above command please just run [sudo] python bin/updater.py -p <com port> -v wmac

You can get a list of available com ports with [sudo] python bin/updater.py list

Hi guys. Thanks a lot for your help and sugestions.

I have tryed the new package and I obtained the following response:

Product ID: 19 HW Version: 3 FW Version: 0.0.8
Connecting........_
Uploading stub...
Running stub...
Stub running...
WMAC=<removed by admin>

I don't know if that si correct, but at least it didn't throught any error message...I will continue with the "Getting Started" and I am sure I will find out it the firmware was correctly updated

@gnm Thanks... it means that generally you can talk to the board and it responds well. I have removed your MAC address just in case.

What kind of Linux system are you using? We also have a GUI firmware update tool (launched via [sudo] python lopyupdate.py) however it has some dependencies (see README inside the download package).

I will check the Linux dialog update script again in case there is anything wrong with it.

I am also in the process of building Linux versions that pack all the dependencies into a single package, but these need to be custom built for custom distributions. So if you can tell me which type of Linux you are using that would be really helpful. Please also specify it you're using a 32 or 64 bit Linux.

OK I found the issue in the update script... I will check how to fix it and then upload a new beta version.

@gnm Please try this new package: [LINK NO LONGER AVAILABLE]

Hi @Xykon, I tryed again, obtaining the following response:

Product ID: 19 HW Version: 3 FW Version: 0.0.8
Connecting.....
Uploading stub...
Running stub...
Stub running...
WMAC=<removed by admin>

Could you tell me what output should I expect?

P/D: Here are some specifications of my Linux distribution:
Kernel: 4.4.0-53-generic x86_64 (64 bit)
Desktop: Cinnamon 3.2.7
Distro: Linux Mint 18.1 Serena

@gnm I released a new firmware update tool earlier today. Please download the latest linux version and try running the ./update or python lopyupdate.py scripts again. They should be able to communicate with your board now.

If you're still experiencing issues with this new version then please let me know.

@Xykon
sudo python lopyupdate.py
seems to have worked with the last package!
Tks

[Xykon]

@gnm Glad to hear it finally worked :) I hope the rest of the getting-started experience will be smoother but don't hesitate to let us know if you need anything further.
