[SOLVED] Can't update the firmware

[OceaneHebert]

Hi everyone !

I received the SiPy yesterday (with the expansion board) and I try to update the firmware but it doesn't work....
And I have an old version of it... I have the v. 1.1.2.b1... I saw in the forum that there is a v. 1.6.10.b1 ! But I can't find it...!

In addition, when I try to update the firmware, it says that "Setup has finished installing Pycom Firmware" (and I don't have the Device ID and PAC), but in "Atom" when I asked for the "firmware version" It says '1.6.10.b1'...

Can someone help me please ?

Thank you in advance !

I used the SiPy
On Windows 10
With Atom v.1.18.0 and Pymakr 1.0.3
I follow the start guide : https://docs.pycom.io/chapter/gettingstarted/installation/pymakr.html

Hi did you followed this?
https://docs.pycom.io/chapter/gettingstarted/installation/firmwaretool.html

Hi @livius
Yes of course... But it doesn't work...
I try on Mac OS too, and it says :
"The upgrade failed, please check the connections and try the steps again.
This is the log of the upgrading process :
Connecting..........
Failure !"

I have changed the USB cable but nothing change...

Can you see the correct serial port in the Pycom Firmware Update app?
If so can you post what is it showing as here (or post a screenshot of the app)

Hi@jmarcelino

I retry on Linux and yes, I saw the correct serial port, but it doesn't work too...
Here is the interface of the updating tool : 0_1503558174807_Problem_firmware_update.pdf

I have correctly followed this step :

1. Disconnect your device from your computer
2. Connect a jumper cable or wire between G23 and GND
3. Reconnect the board via USB to your computer
4. Run the Firmware Upgrade tool --> Doesn't work

@OceaneHebert This may be an access rigth problem. Can you coonect to the SiPy with a terminal emulator like Screen or Picocom. If no, you need the proper access right to /dev/ttyUSB0. The easiest was is with;:

sudo adduser <you_user_id> dialout

You have to logout login again, to make that acitve. Alternatively, you could try to run the update as super-user with sudo.
