[daniel]

Hello everyone,

Thanks for reporting this issue with the linux updater. We haves just fixed it and released version 1.1.2.b2 for unix. It's available here:

https://software.pycom.io/findupgrade?product=pycom-firmware-updater&type=all&platform=unix&redirect=true

Apologies for the inconveniences...

Cheers,
Daniel

@daniel tried it, got a little bit further, up to the message:
" Something failed trying to contact the server."

@robert-hh can you please try again? The issue reported before was caused because of the slow baudrate (38400) used before for the initial connection with the board. Increasing it to 57600 fixed it. We just trying again on our Ubuntu machines where it was failing before and now it's all fine.

@Emmanuel-Goudot @b3da @rdixey could you please try and let me know? Thanks!

@daniel Now it works.

@daniel It works, report 1.7.7.b1

os.uname()
(sysname='LoPy', nodename='LoPy', release='1.7.7.b1', version='v1.8.6-715-g5fa16c2c on 2017-07-20', machine='LoPy with ESP32', lorawan='1.0.0')

LoPy update fails on WIN10 (64-bit). Connecting to the device with a serial terminal using 115200 bit/s I see

rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x3 (DOWNLOAD_BOOT(UART0/UART1/SDIO_REI_REO_V2))
waiting for download

but the PyCom updater fails to connect.

Updater is just downloaded as 1.1.2.b1

Version number is not displayed in the updater and clicking on '?' in the upper right corner nothing happens. It looks like there is no way to get installer version.

[bmarkus]

Update was succesful on another WIN10 machine.

Why doesn't the update tool support OTA updates, or at least make the firmware binaries available directly?
