Re: Firmware Update

GREG
 

Ed, I had a problem with my Dell i5 W10 64bit computer using DfuSe, it would not update either of my TinySA's and in trying to force them I ended?up with a white screen on both. I then downloaded STCube, it's a much easier program to use for updating the firmware. However, that being said, I still had a problem, re-loading and updating the software still failed.

In desperation I loaded STCube onto an older Toshiba i3 W10 computer and it reloaded the firmware on both TinySA's without issue. I then tried to update to the latest firmware on the Dell, it failed, I then loaded STCube onto an Acer i3 W10 tablet and updated the firmware and it worked flawlessly.

This led me on a several hour long investigation as to why it failed. Turned out that on the Dell the program could not recognize the ST and that prevented the program from loading the chip profile from the STCube database which is needed to update the firmware, the other computers had no issue and the chip type showed up in the information panel.

I have no idea why the Dell failed but the Toshiba and Acer worked without issue, I tried the 2.0 and 3.0 USB ports and different cables on the Dell but none worked. I suggest you try STCube and look to see if the program is detecting your TinySA chip designator.

Hope this was helpful.

I am not sure what is going on here. I was originally having trouble connecting with the TinySA on my primary ham radio computer and took it over to another computer and had success. I went back to the first computer and reduced the number of transmit and receive buffers in the USB serial device driver and then had success on the first computer. The next day, I was back to square one with the TinySA app on both computers. I also was not able to see the TinySA in DfuSeDemo on either computer. Both computers are older systems running 32-bit Windows 10.

I then installed the DfuSeDemo application and the firmware update on a newer 64-bit Windows 10 computer and was able to update the firmware successfully. I also had no problems with the TinySA app on this newer computer. Apparently then the USB cable and connectors are OK as is the TinySA itself (it passed the self-test before and after the firmware update). The two older 32-bit computers are current with Windows 10 updates.

Again, thanks in advance for any ideas.
