Re: Can't update firmware
|
THis is what I did- Larry Get the tinySA_version_number.bin file from and also download from there the files with names starting with DFU
(so the latest is tinySA_v1.3-317-g9d82970.bin) THe other "DFU"??files?are important- the batch file and etc.
Rename the downloaded file to tinySA.bin
Connect the tinySA with USB, switch the tinySA on and enter DFU mode.
Download dfu-util from and check you can execute it.
For windows, open a command window and go to the folder with the downloaded files and run DFU_LOAD_BIN.bat. The tinySA should now be updating with the tinySA.bin file using dfu-util-static.exe
I did the?above on a W10 PC.
On Linux and Mac make sure dfu-util can run from the command prompt. Go to the folder where you downloaded and renamed tinySA.bin and execute
dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D tinySA.bin

Version is 1.3-111-gcb2fe54. The tinySA app works great, except for
the upgrading function. After selecting the file, the app puts the
tinySA into DFU mode automatically, but as you can see from the
screenshot I posted, the app seems to lose communication with it.
Same result if I put the unit in DFU mode manually before selecting
the file. And the dfusedemo app can't even detect the device when
it's in DFU mode, regardless of whether I enter the mode before or
after running the app.

Hey Terry, what FW version do you have loaded in the TinySA
(menu=CONFIG/ VERSION)? And, when connecting to the TinySA app
(before you try to update) does everything work Ok, you get a
sweep and can control the unit from the app?
It appears the program is not sensing the unit is in DFU
mode. Does the TinySA appear to go into that mode when selected
in menu= CONFIG/DFU/ENTER DFU, before trying to upgrade?
Perhaps one of our group more familiar with this might have
some suggestions.?

Thanks, that got me closer. I found that when thought I
copied the firmware file, I actually copied the link to
the file, hence the .URL. Using the .dfu file you supplied I
followed your step-by-step, and it still fails, with this
display:

Hi Terry, see attached, re: TinySA update with TinySA app.
maybe it will help. Not a complicated process. The
application does it all. if you follow the steps attached.
You need to have the correct .dfu file downloaded from the
site. I have attached it as well (latest ver 1.3.317).
Just copy to a file on the computer that you can browse to
when the program requests it. Remember, as soon as you
click on the file it will update and you can track the
progress (which is just a few seconds) in the test block.?

I had the same issues. I used dfu-util,
a bit of a PITA but figured it out. You
need to follow the how to and also rename
the file to what the batch file expects.
It¡¯s a DOS based process but mine is
running latest and works- passes self test
and Cal.?
And Windows 10 needed to recognize the
tinySA as a usb device- running zadig
helped get it recognized. ?
Good Luck?

I've
downloaded dfusedemo, version 3.0.6.
With it running, I connect the TinySA
and put it in DFU mode, but the
application doesn't find it. If it's any
help, when I enter DFU mode I get the
'USB disconnect' sound.
I've viewed a couple of YouTube videos,
and can't figure out what I could be
doing wrong. Also, if I click CHOOSE and
select the new .DFU file, the
application reports that the file
doesn't have the correct format. Seems I
have two different issues.
