New firmware release 0.9.3.b2

[MainSheet]

@Xykon , First, thanks for all your help, I have both units working now.
Both units had zero byte files in the /flash folder. I believe this was a result of using the PyMakr sync project button, as that was the last tool I used to upload files.

I still can not get the PyCom console in PyMAkr to load the REPL prompt. PyMakr is configured on COM4, the same port I used successfully for putty (serialmode).

Connecting to a Pycom device...
Error while communicating with the Pycom device! (click to attempt to reconnect)

I also configured PyMakr for 192.168.0.118, still could not load the REPL prompt.

Hi,
I am on macOS Sierra and when I downloaded the newest version of the updater, I was not able to launch it.

I debbuged it by launching it on the terminal and it says the file lopy.py did not find the folder 'firmware'.

I took a look into the code and in the function __establishFirmwareVersion, line 426, I had to change bins = os.listdir('/firmware')by bins = os.listdir(HERE_PATH+'/firmware').
Now it works correctly.

@MainSheet I only used PyMakr very briefly (it keeps turning the awfully bright LED on and it's very annoying having to turn it off manually all the time) but it was working with the LoPy and the latest firmware.

The only reasons I can think of why PyMakr can't connect to the serial port is that something else is blocking the COM port or there is something in your boot.py/main.py that's causing PyMakr to fail. You could try import os; import machine; os.mkfs('/flash'); machine.reset() to restore your flash memory to firmware defaults, it will re-create a boot.py with nothing but the code for serial REPL along with empty main.py and sys, cert, lib directories.

As for not being able to connect via the network, did you try ping 192.168.0.118 from the command line? Did you try putty in telnet mode and FileZilla with correct settings?

@matamune said in New firmware release 0.9.3.b2:

bins = os.listdir(HERE_PATH+'/firmware')

Yes! This makes the firmware updater working on the MacOs. I'm on El Capitain.

To be a bit more specific, one need to apply the fix in here:
/Applications/Pycom Firmware Update.app/Contents/Resources/src/lopyupdate.py

@Xykon I think I will put PyMakr to the side for a while, between FileZilla and putty I can do whatever I need. Your input has helped me get up to speed quickly. Thanks

@matamune, thanks for your observation. There is a new version of the script that takes into account your findings. It should start now :) It's available in the usual place, and the file is named pycom_update_0.9.3.b2a.dmg

FTP still not working for me after upgrading to pycom_update_0.9.3.b2.dmg
