NanoVNA update


 

Can anyone explain this problem? I'm afraid to proceed on my H4. I FAFO and
bricked my 2.8" H.

Not familiar with windoze tools but it seems that it is complaining that the
firmware is in the wrong format. Try the .dfu firmware file?

Anyway you can't brick these devices, even in the worst case scenario you can
always connect to it with a $3 ST Link clone and flash it.

What software are you referring to?

I am using STMicroelectronics: DfuSeDemo.exe
The Dfu file is DIsLord Version 1.2.27 see the image below. My NanoVNA H4
is: HW version 4.3_MS. I reloaded the Dfu file once again. I've tried
several different WH versions with the same results. Once the 2.8" went
south I refuse to proceed with the download because of the message in the
second image.

Thanks for your interest.

Richard, it is safe to continue and update with that message. I think it is a feature of the final DFuseDemo version.
It also appears on my Win10 computer, and I proceed and update and it works fine. I just tried it again now to verify.

Stan,

I have the same unit as Richard, v4.3-MS. Is dfuse the best way to update
to 1.2.40 or is it better to use the .bin file? Also, I was under the
impression that there were two versions, one for Si5351 and a different one
for MS5351 but I don¡¯t see separate ones on DiSLord¡¯s GitHub. Somewhat

Thanks,

You use the DFU file with DfuseDemo
You use the bin file with STMCubeProgrammer (current downloadable version)
I think either version works with nanovna-app (but I don't remember for sure).

DfuseDemo and nanovna-app require the driver that shows up in Device Manager under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" as "STM Device in DFU mode". This driver needs loaded into Win10 or Win11 if you haven't already done it, and is part of the DfuseDemo package.

STMCubeProgrammer requires the driver that shows up in Device Manager under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" or "Universal Serial Bus Devices" as "STM BOOTLOADER". This one is the standard driver in Win10 and Win11.

If you do not already have the driver set up for nanovna-app and DfuseDemo, I recommend using STMCubeProgrammer, which you can download from the ST.com site - simply because you don't need to deal with windows driver issues.

Regarding the MS vs SI version: they both use the same firmware build. Just go into the Config - Expert Settings menu and select the SI or MS mode. [At one time DiSlord and others were making separate builds for the two, but the only difference was the initialization of the processor mode parameter.]


 

Thanks for the well-worded clarification Stan. I think I¡¯ll go with
STMCubeProgrammer since I already have too many other custom drivers
installed for FPGA tools and dev boards.
