Pymesh wishlist

[catalin]

@thinginnovations hi Andrew,

I'm not sure what you mean. After signing the licence, you'll receive the firmware binary (for Lopy4 and Fipy) immediately.

On the long run, more features and bugfixes will be added to the Pymesh release, probably you'll receive updates automatically (the process is under implementation now).

At some point, Pymesh firmware flashing (and licence signing) will be done within the Firmware Update Tool.

@catalin
ok, form sent back.

Thanks

Got it all now, thanks @catalin

Using latest pycom updater (1.16.1) and I cant seem to select tar.gz files from the file list when using the Flash from local file option. All the files are greyed out and unselectable.

This is on Mac OS Catalina.

Any ideas?

The file received did not contain the L01 firmwar images, only for FPy and Lopy4.

@thinginnovations This is due to newest application rights, in Catalina. (Try System Preferences/Security&Privacy/Full Disk access).

Could you make a new topic in https://forum.pycom.io/category/17/software-tools and maybe the community has the solutions.

I believe someone from our community also reported this recently. I couldn't believe it.

Thanks for letting us know about this detail, @catalin! Bummer.

@thinginnovations: Maybe invoking the programm from the command line still works for you like

Prepare

alias pycom-fwtool-cli='/Applications/Pycom\ Firmware\ Update.app/Contents/Resources/pycom-fwtool-cli'
export MCU_PORT=/dev/cu.usbmodemPye090a1

Invoke

pycom-fwtool-cli --verbose --port $MCU_PORT flash --tar FiPy-1.20.1.r1-0.7.0-vanilla-dragonfly-onewire.tar.gz

Finally got around to reflashing the firmware on a few LoPy4 devices. Seems 1 repeatedly guru mediates. I used a windows laptop to reflash, gave up on the Mac.

Next question for @catalin , when will the L01 firmware be available or can the Lopy4 firmware be used on the L01 ?

thanks

Andrew

If you still have this problem, it can be easily sorted by renaming firmware package .tar, instead of tar.gz. We're looking into it.

@catalin That works. Now I can reflash firmware on a mac.

Thanks

@catalin

Is Pymesh still under development?

I wish to have the issue with running out of buffers resolved :)

Problem:
After a while nodes are unable to send data to each other.

To reproduce, start up two nodes, send message until you run out of "free buffer", to check available buffer, run buffer info...
