zBitx firmware update using Macbook/Raspbian

 

Hi all,
?
I have been trying to update the firmware on the zBitx using a Mac and RPi box but without success. I have 1.04 installed as received.
?
I’ve followed the instructions on YouTube using the recommended approach but no drive is shown at all.
?
No problems with update at the terminal.
?
Any suggestions/recommendations would be welcomed.
?
Tnx and 73 Peter VK3TKK
 

I thought the instructions said a Windows type pc was required

I updated mine on my Linux machine no problems. I am running mint 22. ?Farhans video looked like he was running Ubuntu.

Worked fine on my MacBook Pro but the provided round adapter ?mini USB to OTG didn’t work. It may be your issue. I ordered a cable from Amazon.

Thanks for suggesting to try a different cable - turns out that was the issue. Now upto v1.06 :)
